Relief from the wall of a tomb depicting a procession of three offering bearers walking from right to left, carrying various live birds. The men are bare-chested, wearing only short kilts knotted at the waist and large ouserkh collars.

Above the scene, the hieroglyphic inscription reads: "… His companions and the Ka-priests for his eternity, for the captain of the crew of the boat, mery….". The inscription between the first two figures identifies Ankhhaf as "The chief of the Ka-priests".

From the Old Kingdom onwards, funeral needs led to the development of economic structures dedicated to providing goods for the deceased. Initially, this responsibility fell to the eldest son. However, over time, professional priests, Hmw-kA, or "Servants of the Ka", took over, overseeing rituals performed by the Wab-priests.

These priests managed daily cult practices and facilitated the transport of funerary items, such as furniture, cages, etc. For heavier or more prestigious cargoes, trained and physically fit men were preferred. As seen in this relief,  the apr wiA, or "boat team" played a key role in such tasks. A notable example of their work appears in a scene from the causeway of Pharaoh Sahure’s pyramid, which depicts the transport of his pyramidion.
