The members of a family are shown on this stela from the Assaif (tomb R4). The father and mother sit on a lion-legged bench with a low backrest. The
mother has a basket out of which peeks the handle of a mirror. Between the
parents sits their son Intef; they hold each other's hands and shoulders. The
