Scholars often assume that elite, or high-status tomb chapels of the Egyptian Old and Middle Kingdoms featured decorations in order to provide for the eternal needs of the deceased. This book offers a detailed study of the tomb chapel of Khnumhotep II, charting the various levels of meaning buried in the scenes, ornaments, and texts that adorn it.
