Tomb of Mereruka

 

On the left side is represented a large bed with lion's feet. The upper part of the scene is missing. Next to the small boards forming the edge are shown two men spreading the linen

. Next to the bed (but displayed below it), five attendants (originally seven) wait with their arms across their chest. These all hold the title of "the overseer of linen". Mereruka moves toward the bed, holding his wife by the hand; they are followed by twelve men, four in each sub-register. The twelve men hold the arms across their chest. Their names, which were drawn in ink, have become erased. Originally there were probably more than just there three surviving sub-registers.

The group of men behind the couple stand with their backs to similar groups of five females who attend Mereruka's wife in the next scene

.
The central scene shows Seshseshet playing the harp for her husband; both are squatting on a couch and Mereruka holds in his hand a small stick and a fly swatter

. Represented below the couch are vases and caskets; the text between the two rows reads: "First class sealed (things) : golden (necklaces), all (kinds of) ointments and clothing". Women in fives and men in fours, are grouped standing behind their respective mistress and master.
As previously, the group of men stand with their back with the attendees of the next scene, this time groups of four men.
At the right-hand end of the wall Mereruka is shown seated, clothed in the starched kilt; his wife is squatting next to him, at his feet

.
In a poor condition, above Mereruka's head, are the remains of seven columns of text, which contain his names and some of his titles

. The first (right) column having the title "Inspector of Prophets of the Pyramid 'The-Places-of-Teti-Son-of-Re-are-Enduring'". The last three columns ending with his two names.
Behind him stand several rows of male servants with their arms folded in different ways.
The couple are separated from several registers of servants coming towards them by a column of text which titles the scene: "Observing the sealed (things) and clothing brought from the residence, as a boon which the king gives for the honoured one, Meri". In the lower register two men hold two pieces of material, followed by four transporting chests and finally two scribes follow them carrying a palette under their arm. The title of this register, written above, describes the scene "Bringing chests and clothing, which are brought to him from the residence, as a boon which the king (gives) ". In the second register, men hold in their arms large vases of different shapes. Above them, is the description of the scene "Bringing Hs-vases and vase stands, which are brought to him from the residence, as a boon which the king (gives) ". The characters of the third register transport three chests of linen. The text, along the heads of five of the six men is lost.
A further register existed above these, but only a small fraction has survived.
