Door from the Tomb of Sennedjem

The door from the tomb of Sennedjem was found at Deir el-Medina in 1886.

The door’s importance lies in the drawings that are painted upon it. On the inner side of the door, we see a vignette, which is part of Chapter Number 17 from the Book of the Dead. Sennedjem, who is portrayed seated beside his wife under a pavilion of reed, is playing senet.

This was a popular game among the living and it could have an impact on the deceased’s welfare in the afterlife as well.

Tomb of Sennedjem (TT1). New Kingdom, 19th Dynasty, ca. 1292-1189 BC. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. JE 27303
