Liberated from the evil empire, but I couldn't find a great summary page including this exact piece. Frustrating!
Anybody have a good reference page for this one?

Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!
Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.

Not sure what type of references you're looking for, but there are some descriptions on the Wikipedia page of the tomb TT55. Based on the description, I would guess this is one of the reliefs showing him and his wife on the eastern side of the main hall. One of the sources says it depicts a banquet and that his wife was called Merit-Ptah (see also here; this page is about a different person but also mentions TT55). There are more images on Wikimedia Commons with some more in the "reliefs" subpage. This one looks like the one in your post.
Excellent; thank you so much!
