Middle Kingdom The "overseer of troops" Sehetepibre, son of Satankhu was the owner of a commemorative chapel that housed two relief slabs in the collection (65.120.1, 65.120.2). On these slabs, he is seen seated at an offering table, and members of his family are depicted as mummies.Althought hieroglyphs could be written in either direction, the preference was to write from right to left. Thus, the list of Sehetepibre's family begins at the right of this slab with the two larger mummies identified as Sehetepibre himself and the "lady of the house" Djehutihotep (perhaps his wife). Beside them, from right to left are the couple's daughter Satankhu; Seka, son of Satmay; Seshemi, daughter of Setankhu; Senebes, daughter of Gifit; and the "overseer of troops" Khentikheti, son of Renesankh. The list of family members is continued on the second slab (65.120.1).. Relief from the Chapel of the Overseer of the Tro
