Description

Explore the complex social structures of ancient Egypt with The Iconography of Family Members in Egypt's Elite Tombs of the Old Kingdom. In this volume from the Harvard Egyptological Studies series, author Jing Wen provides a detailed survey of how family members were portrayed within the reliefs of elite tombs. This scholarly work moves beyond simple historical records to examine how these depictions functioned as language games. By analyzing these visual representations, the book investigates familial relations, ancestor worship, and the funerary cult of the dead. Readers will gain insight into the relevant texts that accompanied these scenes, offering a fresh perspective on Egyptian funerary practices. This book is an essential resource for those studying ancient Egyptian ideology and the specific ways familial bonds were communicated through art. It provides a new hypothesis that updates current understandings of how the elite viewed their lineage and their role in the afterlife.
