Abstract

Edition of a mortuary stela from the XVIIIth Dynasty discovered in 2018 inside the surrounding walls of Theban Tomb 33. The offering scenes on this monument of outstanding quality depict relatives of the deceased, both close kin and prominent Theban administrative officials, such as the famous Ineni, overseer of the two granaries of Amun. In addition, the commentary aims to show in what way this monument fits into a series of mortuary stelae that showcase intergenerational family piety and social network in a kind of iconogenealogical staging. From this perspective, the study of a dozen monuments from the New Kingdom highlights the patterning of mortuary rituals according to the networks of family and social solidarity.
