Menna and Henuttawy (detail of the painted stele)

Mirror representation with two couples sitting on chairs, almost certainly Menna and Henuttawy (Menna's face is obliterated). The characters have a cone of perfumed ointment on their heads, Menna wears a light robe with short sleeves and a white skirt, has a breastplate and holds flowers and lotus buds. Henuttawy wears a long wig, a tiara and a breastplate and a long, tight-fitting two-coloured dress. Lower register: two symmetrical groups of three figures in an attitude of veneration. The first figure is male (possibly Menna or a son), followed by a female figure (Henuttawy or a daughter) and a male figure with a shaven head, probably a servant.
