Tetiky is best known from his Theban grave TT15 , which also depicts his extensive family. Accordingly, Tetiky was the son of the head of the Gardens of Amun , Rahotep. His mother was a woman named Senseneb. His wife was called Seneb. In his tomb there is a representation of Queen Ahmose Nefertari . This may indicate that a family member was this queen's wet nurse. The depiction also shows a close connection to the ruling house of the early 18th dynasty. Tetiky and his brothers Tetinefer and Tetianch also carried the title of son of a king . This title was often held in the Second Intermediate Period and in the early New Kingdom by non-royal persons, but who had certain royal powers. Tetiemre, a brother of Tetiky, may have followed him as mayor of Thebes. Tetianch is known from his own grave ( MMA 5A P2 ).
