In this picturesque image of water jars beneath an acacia tree, each jar for ready use topped by a drinking cup, there may be hidden allusions to beliefs about the afterlife. In the Old Kingdom, an institution called \u201cthe acacia house\u201d was maintained at the solar cult site of Heliopolis (near present day Cairo). To this institution belonged a group of women who served as mourners and ritual dancers at each pharaoh\u2019s funeral. Queen Neferu may have been a member of Mentuhotep II\u2019s acacia house.For other reliefs of Neferu, see 26.3.353* and 31.3.1.
