The tomb of Djehutyhotep "Great Chief of the Hare Nome"

The tomb of Djehutyhotep "Great Chief of the Hare Nome"
The tomb of Djehutyhotep, Great Chief of the Hare Nome is the most important and the best preserved of the tombs of the site of el-Bersheh. It bears the number 17L20/1 (formerly n°2).

Djehutyhotep is represented upright, his two arms at his sides, in a rigid and badly proportioned attitude. He wears a wig, a false beard and a broad necklace. A short pleated tunic hangs from his hips.

The nomarch is surmounted by his titles. Above of him and flowing out down both sides, like solid matter, two filaments of water containing natron come from the libation carried out by characters by the aid of ewers, those on the right being more damaged than those on the left. To the left of him, Nestor de l'Hôte identified the top two characters, the first (who pours the water) is the second son of the deceased, Sesostris-Ankh; the other (carrying a basket) is the third son, Nehery.

On the right, the character carrying the vessel is his third son, Shensu-em-khau-ef, but the other is not named. In 2015, the tomb has been entered and this relief has been stolen
