TT38, the tomb of Djeserkareseneb

 TT38, the tomb of Djeserkareseneb


In front of the seated couple is a festival bouquet, not the usual table of food.
Standing at the other side of this are two of his daughters. Although they appear to stand slightly one behind the other, they are probably standing side-by-side. The first, actually further away than the other, approaches him with a very colourful necklace and the other with bowl of wine. The first is identified by the text above her as "His beloved daughter, the mistress of the house, Nebtaui", the other is "His beloved daughter, Meryre". Thus the first, by her description, is married. The text continues with the words: "She says: 'For your ka. Have a happy day, the counter of the corn, in your mansion of justification, which you made for yourself in the region of the city.' ".









Note that for the first time, Djeserka is identified not just as a "counter of corn" but as "the counter of corn" using the hieroglyph . These words were obviously spoken by the latter of the two sisters, because in front of the first is the horizontal text: "Join a happy day, the counter of the corn of [Amun]", again using a definate "the".

votive cloth

This piece of painted material belongs to the category of "shrouds" and "votive cloths" which have been found in the funerary temple of Montuhotep II at Deir el-Bahari. The majority of fabrics show the male or female owner in the middle of presenting offerings to the goddess Hathor. According to the iconographic details, one distinguishes different groups. The Brussels example belongs to the group which depicts the cow-goddess in a processional barque. Three small columns of hieroglyphs, which surmount the scene, mention the name of the owner and of the local goddess.

Model of a Cow

The wooden model of a standing cow is carved from a single piece of wood. A peg at the bottom of each hoof was intended to attach the figure to a rectangular base. The body is painted to imitate the natural skin of the animal.

Individual models of cows are not very common in ancient Egyptian art, so this cow may have been part of a butchery or cattle-counting scene.

The deceased possibly hoped to use it in the hereafter as an offering.

Objects from Tomb T5 al Naqada


Objects from Tomb T5 al Naqada.
This was one of the largest and most important burials at Naqada.
In the middle of the tomb were 5 detached skulls, with a sixth on a brick at the Southern end.
A mass of bones lay on the floor in a heap and around the slides of the grave.
The presence of one male and at least 4 females in the grave, may suggest the sacrifice of councubines or servants to accompany the deseased....
Such a practice is attested in the secondary burials around the early rotal tomb complexes at Abydos.
Along the North and were steacked eight large jars filled with ashes of Wood and vegetable matter, with some animal bones. One jar preserved a layer of vegetable matter on top of the ash, perhaps a beer offering. At the Sourthern en were wavy- handle jars.

Head of a Queen

Head of a Queen
The facial features of this head recur on sculpture dating from the end of Dynasty XXX until well into the Ptolemaic Period (305–30 B.C.). The subject here is either a queen or a goddess, but which one is uncertain because the headdress, which might have provided a clue, is lost.
