Note 24 — IV SKHEMKA, HIS WIFE AND SON A GROUP FOUND AT MEMPHIS (The Louvre)

Elizabeth Lee translation

Thus in Lepsius (“Denkmäler,” ii., 74e), where the noble Senotmhît, surnamed Mihi, is seated, of heroic stature, while his wife, Khontkaous, is represented crouching and of low stature, although she is a legitimate daughter of the king. In another part of the tomb (Lepsius, “Denkmäler,” ii., 73) the same persons are represented standing side by side and of heroic stature, while their children are of ordinary stature.
