HARRISON AND SONS, I.TL/.,

I'KINTERS IN ORDINARY TO HIS MAJESTV,

SI'. MARTIX'S I.XNE. LONDON, W.C. 2.

The copies of .se|)Lilchr;il stelae, and statutes, and other inscribed monuments

])ublished in this Part, illustrate the funerary art and customs of the ancient

Egyptians under the Ancient and Middle and New Empires, and form an

important contrilnition to the liicraturr ol I'unerary Archaeology.

The oldest ot these monuments are slaljs from the ma.stabah tombs of

the Ancient Empire, the earliest dating from the Ilird dynasty. On them

are sculptured scenes refiresenting the slaughter of bull as prescribed by the

Book of Opening the Mouth, the transport of funerary offerings to the tomb,

and the preparations made for the funeral feast (Plates XI II XX'III).

The texts and scenes Irom the mastabah tomb of the great official

Ur-ari-en-Ptali are of special importance, for they illustrate the treatment of

the decorations and .u'rangenient of the texts on the inner walls of the mastabah

t(jmb of an official under the Vth dynasty. The deceased was a great official,

for he was priest, councillor, inspector, overseer of the chancery, king's scribe,

king's libationer, and he ministeretl in one of the great Sun-temples at Sakkareh :

and he and his wife l\.hentid<au-s were akin to ilu- king (Plates I-XII).

The canonical list of offerings, though shorter than ihai found in the royal

tombs ot the Villi (l\nast\\ contains many interesting \'ariants.

Fragmentary but interesting inscriptions from the famous Xlth dynasty

temple at Der al-Bahri arc given on Plates XXI-XXIV, and copies of

inscribed stelae of the XI 1th and Xlllth dynasties on Plates XXV-XXVlll.The funerary worship of the kings Mentu-helep, Neb-hapt-ra (Xlth dynasty),

Amen-hetep 1 and Aahmes Nefertari (X\ Illth dynasty), is well illustrated by

the Theban stelae reproduced on Plates XXIX-XLIl. An interesting group

of texts, etc., from stelae of the XXTllth and XlXth dynasties found at

Abydos, will be found on Plates XLIII-L. Among this group the stele,

containing the biography of Neb-uaui, is of special importance ; this official was

high priest of Abydos and flourished in the reigns of Oueen Hatshep-sut and

Thothmes 111.

The drawings were made by Mr. E.J.

Lambert, and the inscriptions

were copied by Dr. H. R. Hall, Deputy-Keeper in the Department, who has

also drawn up the descriptions of the Plates.
