An interesting example of Ptolemaic funerary art is the lid of the sarcophagus of Shepmin, a priest and royal scribe of Amon. Its contours are rounded and polished, and the inscription is limited to a single column mentioning the owner’s name and titles. The burial of Shepmin was found in a Theban tomb (TT 32) originally belonging to a 19th dynasty official named Djehutymes. The tomb was reused again in the Roman period for the family members of Soter, archon of Thebes during the 2nd century BC.
