During the third dynasty, the design and construction of furniture progressed rapidly. Painted wall carvings in the tomb of Hesyra at Saqqara show a typical collection of furniture that would have been used in the households of high-ranking officials. Some bed frames have bovine-shaped legs while others have legs made from bent timber elements. They are designed to slope toward the foot of the bed, where a vertical frame was placed to prevent the bedding from slipping to the floor. Some stools and chairs are also seen having bovine-shaped legs, while others with straight legs have curved braces below the seat. The paintings show that Hesyra also possessed a number of elegant boxes, which have their panels decorated with djed and tyet signs. The application of hieroglyphs to furniture continued throughout dynastic times; they were found, for example, on a number of boxes in the tomb of Tutankhamun.
