Description The 19th dynasty (circa Seti I) royal writer Pauty is presumably buried in the Saqqara necropolis as the superstructure of the newlyweds graves there usually contains a small pyramid located at the back of the middle chapel. This clay pyramid is finished with a limestone pyramidion, like the great stone pyramids of the Old Kingdom era of Egypt. This aspect of the Old Kingdom solar cult was continued in the New Empire, where pyramids have also occurred in a non-royal context ever since. The inscriptions on this copy clarify the association with the solar cult. On the eastern side, Pauty glorifies the rising sun Re-Harakhte and on the west side, the god Atum, undergoing the western horizon. His wife Iyemoenoe is also mentioned. On the north and south side, sacrifices are dedicated to Osiris and Anubis. His pyramidion is today located in RMO Leiden.
