Abstract
Jmy-rA jp.t nsw is the title traditionally connected with the royal harîm; or, in modern Egyptological literature, with the royal household. This article focuses, in part, on one of the earliest appearances of the depiction of the holder of this title in combination with the motif of the royal audience and the royal household in a Theban context (i.e. vizier Ramose and tomb TT 55).
This specific motif also appears in the decoration of all non-royal Amarna tombs, where it has further developed into the characteristic scene of the royal household, most likely including the jmy-rA jp.t nsw, behind the royal couple. This paper discusses the general characteristics of the title being discussed and role, as well as the elements of continuity and change within these types of scenes.
