Abstract
This article examines an unusual Old Kingdom graffito from the turquoise mining site of Wadi Maghara in Southern Sinai, depicting a man, woman and child, probably a family. New readings of the wife’s name are suggested, and unusual features of the relief, such as the wife being the tallest member of the group, are discussed. Family members are rarely represented in reliefs at mining sites, and it is uncertain whether the wife and child actually came to Wadi Maghara with the husband.
