Attention is drawn to two scenes from tombs at El-Hagarsa. In the tomb of Mery-aa a female attendant is depicted holding a fan in the shape of a bird's wing. In the tomb of Wahi a woman holds a fan of semicircular shape. Both women have the title of sḏꜢw.tj, 'treasurer.' These ladies appear to have enjoyed a certain seniority within the tomb-owner's household, possibly even being concubines or wives. (OEB)
