PILLAR 7

Section 1

Inscription n°15 "Final Titulature (ie. the set of titles borne by an official) " (see )
"The hereditary prince, the count, the chancellor of the King of Lower Egypt the sole companion, the lector-priest, the leader of the prophets, the leader of the army, the leader of the mountainous region, the leader of the interpreters, the great leader of the nomes of the Throne of Horus and the rural area, Ankhtifi, the excellent one who is true of voice, the one who is praised by his entire city.".

Section 2

Here there are only traces of a representation of Ankhtifi (see ).

Section 3

(see , , , and )

Three men (probably the sons of Ankhtifi), distributed on three superposed registers, each presents the front leg of an ox to their father who is on section 2.

Section 4

(see )

At the top, a man carries in each hand a red ovoid vase. One of the vases seems to be placed on a kind of cushion (see ).

a man carries two enormous fishes, using a wooden yoke.

Lower down, a cooking scene is distinguished by its originality and its relatively good conservation (see ).

The middle register shows two men busy around a brazier of burning coals. The character on the left, sitting on a small wooden cubic seat, holds a long stick at the end of which is staked a plate of ribs, held over the live coals. Opposite, his assistant is fanning the fire to revive the live coals and to maintain the heat. Between the two characters is a curious object which seems to finish in a duck head or a spatula (see ). The use that could be made of this instrument remains undetermined.

The scene of the lower register shows a variant of the fashion of cooking: a pot, probably in terracotta, rests on a support, with below it a burning fire. Here meat is not roasted, but boiled. On the right of the scene, a man fans the fire to maintain it, stirring the cooking with the help of a stick, with his other hand, to keep it cooking. The left character, holding a piece of meat with his right hand, is preparing to plunge it in the pot. With the other hand, he carries a piece of meat to his mouth in order to test if it is cooked (see and ). It is exceptional to find a scene so natural and realistic in a tomb.

Section 5

(see and )

At the top, a man carries a young gazelle. In the middle, a man holds a yellow hare with a white stomach by the hind legs and by the ears (see ). At the bottom, a man holds a rabbit by the ears in each hand (see ).

Section 6

(see )

Ankhtifi is represented twice, standing, clothed of a loincloth with an apron. His neck is decorated with a necklace. He holds the kherep sceptre with the left hand.

Section 8

A once painted relief represents a standing Ankhtifi. He holds a cane in his right hand and a lotus flower in his left hand.

PILLAR 8

Only the base of this pillar remains, with a height of approximately 50cm (see ).

PILLAR 9

There are no more than a few traces and fragments of a painted representation of Ankhtifi (see , and ).

PILLAR 10

(see )

Only the bottom of the pillar is preserved, it is decorated with scenes of animal husbandry. A yellow and black cow of which the top of the body, the head and the neck have disappeared, breast-feeds its white and black calf.

PILLAR 11

(see )

There are only a few traces of paintings. One can however distinguish the legs of two men and the feet and the ankles, decorated with periscelides of a woman (see ).

PILLAR 12

(see )

Section 1

We can still see the legs of a hunter and his bow //////. He is accompanied by his dog, a white and red greyhound, of which there only remains the front paws, and a child, of which only one leg is visible (see ).

Section 2

A drover, of which there only remains the head and a part of the chest, leads a cow with beautiful yellow horns (see ).

Sections 2 and 3

Here there is the presence of four porters of offerings, two women and two men are present (see and ).

PILLAR 13

(see )

On this very badly preserved pillar there are scenes of dance, spinning and offerings. Today no more than a few traces remain.

PILLAR 14

Little remains of the decoration of this pillar. In the middle of section 7, we can still distinguish a large basket. Below, a man holds a hare by the ears and the back legs (see , and ).

PILLAR 15

(see )

On this very badly preserved pillar, we can now only detect the general traces of a man.

PILLAR 16

(see , , and )

Some craftsmen are performing various tasks, in particular the manufacture of furniture. One can see some workers polishing or waxing a gold covered piece of furniture and, to the right, a harp placed on a pedestal (see ).A kneeling character brandishes a kherep sceptre (see and ).
There is also a man who carries three round loaves in a yellow crescent-shaped basket. Another man carries a large basket on his shoulders and balances it with his right hand.

PILLAR 17

(see )

Nothing remains today of the scenes which decorated this pillar.

PILLAR 18

(see )

Only the base remains to a height of about 1m, without decoration.

PILLAR 19

The scene of ploughing which decorates the entire middle register of the pillar (the upper register has disappeared) is interesting and original: the plough is, unusually, pulled by donkeys (detail hardly visible today (detail hardly discernible today, see ). The scene happens in front of Ankhtifi, supported by his cane (see ). Three men accompany the team. The first one drives the donkeys (Female donkeys are more docile, according to Vandier). The second steers the plough; the third, finally, must be the sower (see ).
Scenes of brewery decorate the bottom of the pillar and are only interrupted by the two paintings which have just been described (see ). At the bottom, one can still see a kneeling woman kneading dough. A man, standing in a big jar, tramples on the mixture of flour and water which must form the dough.

PILLAR 20

(see and )

The lower register is occupied entirely by dancers (thirteen originally, of which four are better preserved) who are holding each other by the hand. It seems that the artist, using the round shape of the support, wanted to give to the spectator the impression that these women were dancing around the pillar. A short legend is painted in black above some of these women and pernits their identification: "His daughter [beloved], Nebi, the younger"; "His [daughter] Iret (?) and (his) daughter Nebi.. do that which Hathor likes in favour of Ankhtifi" (see , and ).
In the upper register, women (nine originally) are again arranged around the pillar, but this time, they don't hold each other anymore by the hand. Today this scene has almost entirely disappeared.

PILLAR 21

This pillar contains scenes of hunting and animal husbandry.

PILLAR 22

(see )

Numerous scenes of butchery on wild animals were visible here at the time of the discovery of the tomb. Today nothing remains other than the scene which decorates the lower register.
