The chapel of Raemkai was originally built and decorated for an official named Neferiretnes, traces of whose name and titles can still be made out on the false door. The reuse of the tomb for Raemkai was most probably by royal decree and took place before the reign of Isesi (ca. 2381 BC). The fine relief decorating the tomb includes a large scene of the hunt in the steppes with lasso and dogs: in one vignette an ibex is lassoed, in another dogs attack a hyena and a Dorcas gazelle while a man leaning on his staff looks on and a hare and a reclining gazelle may be seen in the background.For details of the individual walls, see 08.201.1a-h.Free picture Tomb Chapel of Raemkai integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
