The Unis Cemetery at Saqqara 1 - The Tomb of Irukapta (Paperback)

Often referred to as the Butcher's Tomb, the decorated tomb of Irukaptah in the Unis Cemetery at Saqqara has been fully recorded for publication. A well-preserved example of Old Kingdom rock architecture, it retains much of its painted decoration. An outstanding feature is the large number of engaged statues, some left in various stages of completion which provide valuable information on the progressive steps in the execution of rock-cut statuary. The volume includes some comparisons of significant artistic and architectural features with data from other near-contemporary tombs.
