in various scenes in the tombs of Thebes, and to know the purpose of their depiction and the texts accompanying them, as these scenes were found in nine tombs, they are (TT2, TT4, TT 19, TT23, TT 106, TT 216, TT 285, TT326, TT341) in different locations in Dra’ Abu al-Naga, Sheikh Abd al-Qurna and Deir al-Medina.
