Beginning in the Old Kingdom, small limestone and wooden statues of servants at work were placed in tomb chapels to serve the deceased in the hereafter.
These statues depicted servants baking bread, grinding corn, brewing beer, roasting fowl, and slaughtering oxen. Painted reliefs on tomb walls depicted the same activities.
These reliefs show men and women busy cleaning and preparing fish and fowl. They show the men and women using special pottery for cooking on ovens.
