The statues of Maya and Melit are part of the collection of the National Museum of Antiquity in the Netherlands, which has owned three tomb statues of Maya and Melit since 1829. These statues come from the time of Pharaoh Tutankhamun and Hormukh, around 1325 BC. Sakara built a luxurious tomb for himself and his wife Melit, next to General Hormukhb's tomb, although General Hormukhb was never buried there. This statue is designed to receive food for ritual purposes and also serves as a dwelling for the souls of the deceased. This statue is made of limestone and dates back to the New Kingdom period, around 1295 BC.
