View through Harvard Museums
This fragment includes scenes from two registers. In the lower and better preserved one, two individuals are being dragged toward the right by two others. These have been identified as recalcitrant taxpayers being hauled before the tomb owner whose figure would have stood farther to the right, facing them. There is extensive labeling of subordinate figures in heiroglyphic script.
