Description | Right thickness and jamb, with man and woman seated, inscription continues around edge onto side. From the tomb of Minnefer, a royal official. It is unusual because it records the name of Minnefer's son, Hetepniptah, which is the name of the owner of another tomb close by. There are very few examples where a relationship between tomb owners can be established at such an early date. |
