The Theban Tomb 295 of Djehutymes,
aka Paroy

The tomb's owner and his wife Renenutet sit facing left, the wife embracing him in the same pose as seen in the scene above. Djehutymes reaches towards his children with his right hand to receive their offering, while holding in his left band a bouquet, strangely represented behind his right arm. Facing the couple are two children, a son followed by a daughter. Between them and their parents is a lattice-work stand on the top of which is a large bowl filled with lotus buds, with a head of lettuce placed on the top of this pile. Text related to the son: "His son, whom he loves, the sem-priest in the Place of Embalmment, the scribe, the divine seal-bearer, Huy. He says: May your heart be content with the garland; may you go in front of your Ka, the garland of your lord, [Amun]; may he praise you"; the name of the hated god Amun was erased by the atonists.

The area behind the two children is divided into two horizontal sub-registers showing male offering-bearers. Three individuals wearing a black wig are seen in the upper register. In the lower register are three pairs of men with shaved heads.
