Beni Hasan - Tomb of Beket

Farther north on Beni Hasan, at the top of an ancient path ascending fromthe plain, is the Tomb of Beket, Kheti's father and also Nomarch of the Antelope nome (11th Dynasty). The two columns which supported the roof of the rectangular chamber are missing. In the southeast corner is a small recess. On the left hand (north) wall are, above, a hunt in the desert and a barber, laundryman, painters, etc.; below, the dead man and his wife with four rows of women spinning and weaving, dancing girls and girls playing with a ball; herdsmen bringing animals for sacrifice to the dead man; goldsmiths; a fishing scene; and various birds, with their names inscribed beside them. On the rear (east) wall, in the upper rows, are wrestlers; in the lower rows warlike scenes, as in Kheti's tomb. On the right hand (south) wall is the dead man, in front of whom, in several rows, are men drawing a shrine containing his statue, while in front of this are female dancers and servants carrying ornaments, etc., for the statue; peasants driving in their flocks and herds, some of them being brought in forcibly to pay their taxes, while scribes record the amounts; potters at their wheels; men carrying wildfowl they have shot.
