Here Ptahmy’s corpulence is intentionally emphasized as a status symbol. The inscription characterizes him as someone “whose hands are pure when he offers to Ptah.” He is shown presenting scented offerings – lotus flowers and a censer – to Osiris, behind whom are pictured Isis and Nephthys. Alongside him is the son, who inherited his father’s office. His large family joins them in worship. It includes all of two wives, ten daughters, and three more children, the first of which is himself a “supervisor of pure priests.” The soft contours of the bodies still show the influence of the art of the Amarna period.
