Additional Information Image was scanned from color slide. Note: Saqqara ... also spelled Sakkara ... is a vast, ancient burial ground in Egypt, serving as the necropolis for the ancient Egyptian capital, Memphis.--Wikipedia. Note: Ti (c. 2445 - 2421 BC), official, Fifth Dynasty, Old Kingdom. … Although not of the highest rank, despite the fact that his wife was a princess, Ti held responsible offices at the court, particularly in the service of King Niuserre, including the direction of the funerary complexes of past kings, especially the sun temples which the Fifth Dynasty favoured, and the management of the royal estates. Ti himself had extensive holdings throughout Egypt, and these are recorded, in exceptional detail, in the splendid mastaba tomb which he built for himself at Saqqara. He was able to employ the finest craftsmen of his time; his statue in the Cairo Museum is one of the masterpieces of the period …--Who's Who in Ancient Egypt, Routledge , Credo Reference Database.
