Abstract

This paper examines the representation of the tomb owners' sn-relatives (brothers, uncles, cousins, nephews, and male in-laws) and sons in tomb decoration at Deir el-Medina. It lists and discusses the tasks performed by members of each group in the funerary procession and in rituals beside the tomb, mostly related to the Opening of the Mouth, in order to understand the roles allotted to sn-relatives and sons at this crucial family juncture as well as the conventions of representing them within this particular community.
