Hepzefa12th Dynasty
Hepzefa was an official during the reign of Senwosret I
as well as a nomarch of Assiut. He is most known for the
contract that was on the walls in his tomb about the
mortuary offerings and rituals that were to be conducted
on his behalf upon his death. These contracts or wills
were normally part of the rituals in Egypt, and these
inscriptions gave more detailed information about the
pact that was made between the dead and the priests
involved in the ceremonies. Princess Sennuwy, his wife,
is shown in a beautiful statue that was discovered at
Kerma and now can be found in the Museum of Fine Arts in
Boston.
