First Intermediate Period

With the decline of the Old Kingdom, some of the strong tradition of handicraft is lost and local variations in style dominates in art objects and reliefs from the tombs of the elite. This can be seen in this offering stele and tomb relief from the First Intermediate that are not performed in the same high quality and throughness as were charasteristics for the Old Kingdom.
