Painted scene on a wall-plaster support showing two-profile male figures engaged in an offering/ritual gesture, with additional smaller figures and a background of hieroglyphic text or patterning at the top.

The image is a color photograph of a framed painted wall-plaster fragment. In the lower two-thirds, two principal men are shown in profile with dark facial features and elaborate wigs/headdresses, wearing patterned garments and broad belts. Each holds one arm forward as if presenting or receiving an item; behind them a large offering-like object or container appears to be supported or carried. To the right and near the upper area of the scene, additional figures and objects are partially visible, including pale/white strokes and outlines that may represent people or offerings. The upper strip contains small, closely spaced marks that resemble hieroglyphic-style text or decorative inscriptions, though the individual signs are not clearly legible at this resolution. No clear royal cartouche is visible. The overall palette is reddish-brown skin tones, white highlights, and yellow/gold garment accents against a light plaster background. The condition appears weathered with flaking/abrasion and loss of paint along edges and in the background areas.
