During the period from the Seventh to Tenth Dynasty, known as the First Intermediate Period, Egypt fell into an era of disorder, civil wars, and famine.
Governors of different nomes, or provinces, tried to be independent and had to create their own armies not only for protection, but also to fight against neighboring nomes to overthrow them.
In addition to models depicting their household servants, governors wanted to have their soldiers in miniature too, so that they could serve them in the hereafter.
