Abstract

This article deals with an inscribed limestone lintel discovered recently at Saqqara. The study includes the description of the lintel, explanation of the scenes, and translation of the texts. The commentary focuses on the names, titles and epithets, figures of the deceased, original position of this lintel, its characteristics, and the artistic style. Comparisons are made with other lintels of that type and period showing the similarities and differences, and some interpretations and suggestions are introduced to explain the aim of its depictions. The lintel includes a new form for writing a rare name of an individual in the Old Kingdom. A new title was added to the list of Old Kingdom titles. The lintel is dated to Pepy II's reign, or the end of the Old Kingdom according to twenty-two features.
