Nakht-Min was “Overseer of granaries” and “Overseer of horses”. He was the father of Menkheper (TT.79 - Mon.45). The images are taken from Tafel 4, scene 9 and Tafel 8, scene 16 in Guksch and Johannes (1995). The hieroglyphs that have survived are well executed with good colour conservation. However, the scenes and texts are quite badly damaged. The canon is respected.
