Butchers cutting up a cow to present joints of meat as offerings, painted relief at the Tomb of Sesheshet Idut, princess, probably the daughter of king Unas, 5th dynasty, Old Kingdom, on the Unas causeway at Saqqara, Egypt. The tomb of Idut has walls covered with painted reliefs of hunting, fishing, farming and tax payment. The mastaba was usurped and was originally that of the vizier Ihy. The burial site at Saqqara, containing pyramids, mastabas and tombs from 1st dynasty to the Greco Roman period, was the royal necropolis for Memphis. Saqqara is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
