Found in two pieces where it had fallen, this large block once formed an architrave over the doorway to the tomb of Iryenakhet, the overseer of funerary priests of Sennedjemib-mehy, whose wooden statue is also on view in this gallery. Iryenakhet and his wife stand at the left as four of their children bring them offerings. The children are all named after members of the illustrious Sennedjemib family in whose cult their father served.

Several elements of this relief, including the presence of several family members, are typical of the style of dynasty 6. Other characteristic features include the tall, slender, long-limbed figures, the absence of much internal detail in their bodies, and the long offering prayer.
