Oil in Hittite Texts

Prince Kawab
As already stated, Kawab the son of Kheops, who should have inherited the throne, was the father of Meresankh.
He is depicted as a portly man striding towards the chamber of ten statues, and done so in a manner unrelated to the rest of the scenes on the wall behind him. The representation of him may be realistic: his face, well portrayed, indicates a figure of authority, with a high forehead, fleshy lips and an aquiline nose. It is difficult to decide whether ...his hair is natural or a wig.
He is shown clad in a large non-pleated kilt descending to below his knees, and wearing a necklace made from rows (blue, white then blue again) of pearls. Draped over this he has a chain of different-sized pearls, terminating in a heart-shaped amulet. In addition he has bracelets on his wrists. According to Dunham: "Across his chest and under the beads and pendant are traces of the broad diagonal white band of a lector priest". Even with a close-up photograph it is not now possible to identify the band Dunham describes.
In his right hand Kawab is holding a long yellow staff and his left there is a piece of folded cloth.
Above his head is an inscription in six columns: "Her father, the prince, the king’s eldest son of his body, chief lector priest, director of the divine office, in the service of Duwa, Kawab".

Renni tomb

The seated couple are "Hereditary prince Sobekhotep, Justified" and "his wife, mistress of the house, Ahmose, Justified", which identifies them as the parents of Renni,

The couple are represented in a design similar enough to their counterparts on the west wall, but here the woman doesn't hold a flower and she holds her husband in both arms. Under the chair only a fan is represented (handle at the top). In front of them is an offering table over-laden with meats, breads, vegetables, etc. In front of this, represented much smaller, one register high, is a son by the name of Djehutymes, "His son, scribe and butcher in the temple", who presents them with a choice cut of meat : the right foreleg of an ox, the Khepesh . Below him, again one register high, is probably another son of whom very little survives. This whole scene is the height of two registers, separated from the following funerary scenes by a vertical line.

The tomb of Renni, numbered EK 7, is of great interest, not only in the setting of the site at El Kab, but more extensively because it is one of the rare Egyptian tombs which dates from the reign of Amenhotep I. From a decorative view point, one feels here the influence of the end of the Middle Kingdom, the cannon of the New Kingdom not yet being completely in place.
