Painted wall-scene showing two standing human figures flanking a giraffe, with additional small animals/figure implied near the giraffe’s body.

The image is a painted scene on a light background with worn/abraded paint. Two nude-to-partially dressed human male figures stand on the left and right. Each figure has reddish-brown skin, a wig or closely cropped hair, and holds a slender implement or staff/rod near the body. Decorative cloth elements hang from their waists, including patterned fabric around the hips and belts. Between them, a large giraffe is shown in profile facing left, with a long neck, spotted hide, and a raised head. The giraffe appears to be held or accompanied by the right-hand figure as well as possibly integrated into the scene’s composition. No legible hieroglyphic, Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible in this view, and no cartouches are clearly discernible. The overall style and palette are consistent with tempera painting on paper (as per the catalogue).
