The stela CG 20516 is especially important for our research since it shows one of the few iconographic representations of these mrt workers. This stela is essential since it shows the mrt workers performing their tasks and serving their deceased owner in an exceptional way. Such representation suggests a personal link in perpetuity between these workers and their masters. Therefore, the mrt workers’ social and legal status is reconsidered by studying whether they were forced to work periodically or were dependent workers in perpetuity.Este trabajo se propone ahondar en el estudio de un grupo social, los trabajadores mrt, durante el Reino Medio egipcio a partir de su representación y mención en fuentes epigráficas, funerarias y literarias. Específicamente se analiza la estela CG 20516, en la cual se observa la que se considera hasta el momento la única representación iconográfica de estos trabajadores mrt. A juicio del autor, la importancia de dicha estela radica no sólo en esta imagen sino también en el hecho de que los presenta prestando servicios y tareas para el difunto propietario de la estela, lo cual induce a pensar en una ligazón personal a perpetuidad por parte de estos trabajadores. Así, en este trabajo el autor se pregunta sobre la condición social y jurídica de estos sujetos, indagando acerca de si eran trabajadores periódicos obligados a cumplir con ciertas tareas, o bien si se trataba de trabajadores dependientes a perpetuidad.Universidad de La Laguna, Centro de Estudios Africanos202120212018info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://riull.ull.es/xmlui/handle/915/22128reponame:RIULL.
