Mastaba of Akhti-Hotep and Ptah-Hotep
This twin-Mastaba belonged to Ptah-Hotep
and his son Akhti-Hotep. Ptah-Hotep was a priest
of Maat in the times of Pharaoh Djedkare, whose
pyramid lies at South Saqqara.
The Mastaba is quite small compared to Menkaure's
and Kagemni's, but holds a selection of fine
painted wall-reliefs.
The most interesting aspect of this Mastaba are
the unfinished wall decorations. They are found in
different levels of completion, providing us with
much information about how they came to be. |
