Abstract
The aim of this paper is to publish and study the false door of ZS.w which was discovered in the shaft-tomb no. 1058 during the excavations of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA) in Gisr el-Mudir cemetery, west of Unas pyramid in 2009. Now, it is preserved in national Civilization Museum in Cairo under number GEM 6094. The importance of this false door is that the name of its owner is not common in the Old Kingdom, and he also bears a title that rarely appeared in the Old Kingdom and is linked to the royal palace, which is the title of jmjj-r wab pr-aA (the overseer of the wab-priest of the great house). Furthermore, it aims to translate, to comment on texts, and to date the false door, with discussion of his name-meaning, epethits and titles. Some artistic, orthographic and paleographic features display some tendency toward the late 6th dyn.
