Fragmentary ancient Egyptian mural depicting a spotted animal, possibly a cow or an antelope.
The image shows a fragmentary ancient Egyptian mural, displaying a spotted animal that appears to be either a cow or an antelope. The artwork shows a mixture of red, white, and black colors, likely using mineral-based pigments on a plaster surface.
