The Tomb of Kagemni

a procession of porters with offerings, laden with fruits, with birds, with vases containing flowers, trays and baskets filled with breads, meats and vegetables intended the "ka of Memi". These continue on the following walls, in either a clockwise  or an anti-clockwise direction.




 Kagemni, who is illustrated receiving the products of the fields which are provided for his funerary worship. Thus he sees the procession of servants laden with the various goods approaching in front of him

 a new procession starts here, they actually continue towards the rear of the figure of Kagemni
  there are three sub-registers. The bottom row shows chests containing vases and on the left is a strange assembly including a fan and a flail resting on what can only be a bed. Above, the first row of men is constituted of scribes carrying different scolls. Note that in front of the first one of them has been added his name
Take note of the first three men in the top register and the curious disposition of their arms. If the gestures of the first and the third are those of greetings, then the attitude of the one of the middle is very perplexing.
