Men and women singers, flute-players, harpists, and dancers from the tomb of Ti (also spelled TY). The Mastaba of Ti was discovered by Auguste Mariette in 1865. This grand and detailed private tomb is not only Old Kingdom art at its best but also one of the main sources of knowledge about life in Old Kingdom Egypt. Its owner, Ti, was overseer of the Abu Sir (also spelled Abusir) pyramids and sun temples (among other things) during the 5th dynasty ( c 2465-2323 BC). Ti was a hairdresser to the royalty during the early V Dynasty, as well as controller of the farms and stock that belonged to the royal family. In fact, the superb quality of his tomb is in keeping with his nickname, Ti the Rich. Abusir is the Arab name given to the Greek town of Busiris and the Old Kingdom necropolis in its vicinity. Here you see wall paintings showing men and women singing, playing the flute, and dancing.
