The mastaba of Neferherenptah at Saqqara

The mastaba of Neferherenptah at Saqqara



Many representations of birds, flying freely, caught in a net or contained by in a cage. The other scenes are also appropriate to the farming life: raising of the animals, wine-harvests, picking and maintenance of the gardens. It doesn't have a cult scene, except for two representations of funeral priests, and no member of the deceased's family is represented. The scenes of handicraft, of the butcher's shop or ritual are missing completely. Maybe they were to take place on the walls which have remained blank.
