This carved relief from the tomb of Ptahhotep in Saqqara shows three figures. Ptahhotep was a common name in ancient Egypt. The illustration is credited to the Belgium art historian Jean Capart (1877-1947) and Emil Roemmler (died 1941). The figure at leaft appears to be resting on his staff. The figure in the middle appears to be drinking, with the help of the figure on the right. Most likely the tomb was a Dynasty V tomb.
