A scholarly work that explores the self-presentation of some elite members of late Saite Egypt. This study examines the biographies and statues of two individuals who were principal members of the non-royal aristocracy. The approach integrates images, monuments, and texts with the places, participants and broader historical environment that gives them meaning. Ultimately, the goal is to bridge the gap between image and text.
