介绍（中）	在旧王国时期，在沙漠中狩猎动物的场景成为陵墓装饰的标准组成部分（例如，参见《雷姆凯墓》中的08.201.1克）。在公元前第三个千年至公元前第二个千年初，埃及沙漠仍然具有丘陵稀树草原的特征，到处都是耐寒的植物，居住着大量的野生动物，如瞪羚、羚羊、兔子、鬣狗，偶尔还有狮子或猎豹。沙漠位于泛滥平原的边缘，因此处于有序世界的边缘，成为不断威胁埃及宇宙的混乱的象征。通过击败这个边缘地区的野生生物，国王和他的精英帮助众神在混乱中维持秩序。现在只剩下Kheti沙漠狩猎的装饰碎片（见26.3.354-5相关内容），但它们让我们得以一窥中世纪初期在一些坟墓中看到的生动的动物形象在Kheti的坟墓被遗弃很久之后，入口走廊两旁的白色石灰石被打碎并重新使用。这件作品是部分成型的，也许是拼盘，但在完成之前就被丢弃了。
介绍（英）	Scenes of hunting animals in the desert became a standard part of tomb decoration during the Old Kingdom (see, for example, 08.201.1g, from the Tomb of Raemkai). During the third and into the early second millennium B.C., the Egyptian deserts still had the character of a hilly savannah filled with hardy plants and populated by a multitude of wild animals such as gazelle, antelope, rabbits, hyenas, and the occasional lion or cheetah. Located at the fringes of the floodplain, and thus at the edges of the ordered world, the deserts became symbolic of the chaos that constantly threatened the Egyptian cosmos. By defeating the wild creatures of this liminal area, the king and his elite helped the gods to maintain order over chaos. Only fragments of decoration of Khety's desert hunt (see 26.3.354-5-related) remain, but they provide a glimpse into the lively animal representations seen in a few tombs dating to the beginning of the Middle Kingdom. Long after Khety's tomb was abandoned, the fine white limestone that lined the entrance corridor was broken up and re-purposed. This piece was partially formed, perhaps into a platter, but was discarded before it was completed.
