Ankhmahor6th Dynasty
A high ranking official in the later years of the Old Kingdom,
Ankhmahor was Overseer of the Great House and 'First Under the King'; he
was also a Ka-Priest. His tomb at Saqqara, however, is comparatively
modest in scale though it contains some highly individual scenes on its
walls. Know, incorrectly, as 'The Tomb of the Physician', it depicts
circumcision and scenes of mourning of great feeling. It also shows
craftsmen, including dwarves, at work as jewelers, metalworkers and
sculptors.
