Tomb Chapel of Raemkai — South Wall

This limestone wall carving captures a domestic scene where a man, shown in profile, holds a tether attached to a large Nubian ibex with curved horns. The relief is divided into registers, with hieroglyphic inscriptions positioned above the animal and along the bottom edge of the frame. The focus is on the clean, rhythmic lines defining both the human figure and the wild animal, reflecting the naturalistic style of the Old Kingdom.

As an integral component of a tomb chapel, this relief serves the funerary function of ensuring the deceased's eternal provision and status, reflecting the Egyptian worldview where daily life activities were ritually enacted to sustain the soul in the afterlife.
