The present study represents a publication of the most significant scenes and inscriptions decorating the newly discovered rock-cut tomb-chapel of the late First Intermediate Period nomarch Iti-ibi-iqer at Asyut. These scenes include offering the mnjt-necklace and sistrum of Hathor, military activities, hunting in the desert with a fabulous creature, fowling in association with goddess Sekhet, commemorating Khety II and his wife Iti-ibi and forming sacred symbols of wood, the significance of which is discussed. The associated inscriptions provide us with two hitherto unknown nomarchs, Iti-ibi-iqer and his son Mesehti-iqer, who successively governed Asyut after Khety II and were contemporaneous to Mentuhotep II: Nebhepetre.
