Wooden tomb model

Wooden tomb models were an Egyptian funerary custom throughout the Middle Kingdom in which wooden figurines and sets were constructed to be placed in the tombs of Egyptian royalty. These wooden models represented the work of servants, farmers, other skilled craftsman, armies, and religious rituals.〔Kathryn A. Bard, Steven Blake Shubert, Encyclopedia of the Archaeology of Ancient Egypt,pp.266f, Routledge, 1999〕 The different types of models served as symbols and were believed to perform various functions for the deceased.〔Bard & Shubert 1999, pp.266f.〕
==Origin==
During the Protodynastic and Early Dynastic period (3200-2686 BC) the funerary sacrifice of servants was practiced to provide for the deceased royal retainers to accompany him into the afterlife.〔Ian Shaw & Paul Nicholson, The British Museum Dictionary of Ancient Egypt, p.134, 1995, British Museum Press〕 At Abydos and Saqqara (3100-2890 BC), the tombs of 1st-Dynasty rulers suggest this practice with shared-roof subsidiary burials surrounding the tombs.〔Shaw & Nicholson 1995, p.134〕 The practice of human sacrifice was later superseded by the wooden model representations of servants instead.〔Shaw & Nicholson 1995, p.134〕
Egyptian royalty likely felt a pressing need for servants in the afterlife, having been waited on hand and foot by them during their entire lifetime. This seems to have led to the diverse variety of models found in tombs to perform various functions.〔"Ancient Egypt: Funerary Objects", Kibbutz Reshafim, n.p., (9 Dec. 2014 ). Online: http://www.reshafim.org.il/ad/egypt/funerary_practices/funerary_objects.htm〕 Originally royal tombs were provided only one model servant, but as time went on the number of wooden models increased, some containing 365, one for every day of the year.〔Shaw & Nicholson 1995, p.266〕 Additional scenery, animals, and objects also began to be provided.〔Kibbutz Reshafim, n.p.〕 As the practice of wooden models moved into the New Kingdom, numbers continued to increase. More than 700 figurines are said to have populated the tomb of Sety I (1294-1279 BC).〔Shaw & Nicholson 1995, p.266〕
