| Abstract | ||
| The New Kingdom private tombs at both Saqqara and Thebes have a number of scenes that represented the tomb owners either alone or accompanied by their wives in different manners: worshiping gods, receiving offerings, seated in front of offering tables, standing in an inspection of workers or practicing in ceremonies and various activities. Most of these scenes depict the owners or their wives holding a variety of objects in their hands. This study deals with the scenes in which the tomb owners and their wives hold a folded cloth. Cloth was, in fact, one of the most frequently used objects in ancient Egypt. The study is going to track down scenes of the folded cloth in a group of New Kingdom private tombs in both Saqqara and Thebes. The study in search of the significance of the folded cloth employed a descriptive comparative methodology. As one of the results of the study; an inventory of the folded cloth scenes is made. | ||
