Abstract:

While the well-known scene of the transport of the colossal statue of governor Djehutihotep in his tomb at Dayr al-Barshā has already been discussed at length, the wider context of this scene has not received much attention. In part this is due to its fragmentary copy in Newberry, El Bersheh (London, <1894>). A new recording of the scene that shows the destination towards which the statue is dragged, demonstrates that it was to be located at the ka-chapel of the governor. In addition, new inscriptions allow to reconstruct the supply chain from which the offerings derive that were intended for the cult at this chapel.
