Iti11th Dynasty
Iti was the 'King's Treasurer and Head of His Troops', a Royal Seal
Bearer and the owner of a tomb at Gebelein which was extensively painted,
an example of an art form which seems particularly to have flourished
during this time of some political confusion. In addition to customary
scenes relating to It's life and the ceremonies attending his funeral,
there are less usual sequences, including one featuring a large sailing
ship armed with shields. There is also a scene of a bullfight, an event
which was evidently popular during this period.
