Polychrome wall-painting scene of three standing male figures with wigs, holding instruments/objects and wearing distinctive patterned garments, set against a pale background with faint hieroglyphic-like marks near the top.

The image shows a rectangular framed painted surface depicting three human figures shown in profile facing inward. The left figure raises one arm across the body and wears a red-brown skin tone, a rounded wig/hairstyle, and a patterned kilt with belt; the feet are bare or lightly shaded with dark edging. The central figure stands with an arm extended toward the right figure and wears a patterned kilt; between the figures are white and yellow highlights and a yellow-gold object or sash-like element. The right figure holds a large dark staff/rod or instrument in the right hand and extends a hand toward the central figure. Above the figures, a faint band of small marks and shapes may represent decorative or inscribed text, though it is not clear enough to identify specific hieroglyphs. No clear royal cartouches, Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text are legible on the visible image. A small number appears in the bottom-right corner (catalogue/collection marking), but it is not hieroglyphic text. Overall the composition resembles a tomb wall scene with narrative gestures and costume details.
