Reliefs from the Chapel of the Overseer of the Troops Sehetepibre. Dimensions: 65.120.1: H. 30.5 cm (12 in.); W. 42.5 cm (16 3/4 in.); Th. 10.6 cm (4 3/16 in.); 65.120.2: H. 30.5 cm (12 in.); W. 49.2 cm (19 3/8 in.); Th. 9.7 cm (3 13/16 in.). Dynasty: Dynasty 13. Date: ca. 1802-1640 B.C.. The "overseer of troops" Sehetepibre, son of Sitankhu, was the owner of a commemorative chapel at Abydos, presumably built on the "Terrace of the Great God" near the Osiris Temple. From here, he could magically and eternally participate in the festivals celebrating this god that were held each year. The two surviving walls of this chapel depict Sehetepibre seated at an offering table (on slab 65.120.1) with formulaic inscriptions that request provisions from the deities worshipped at Abydos. The lower portions are deeply cut back to form ten niches, each occupied by a mummiform figure that is identified by an inscription. Although Egyptian hieroglyphs could be written in either direction, the preference was right to left. Thus, the list of Sehetepibre's family begins on slab 65.120.2 and continues 65.120.1. The largest figure (on slab 65.120.2) is Sehetepibre himself. To his right is Djehutyhotep, presumably his wife, followed by her daughter, Sitankhu. The remaining figures depict other relatives as well as members of his household.
