Characteristic of the New Kingdom (1539−1075 BCE), pyramidia were the capstones of certain pyramid-shaped burial chambers built of brick. This pyramidion is probably from the Deir-el-Medina village of craftsmen who worked on the royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings. The deceased, named Huy, is shown here on the four faces of the pyramidion, kneeling with his hands raised in adoration. The inscription informs us of his position as a “servant in the Place of Truth”, meaning the royal tomb.
