Colored painted scene on paper showing Egyptian figures in multiple registers performing activities associated with the afterlife, alongside depictions of crops/vegetation and a cow, with surrounding decorative bands and hieroglyph-like text panels.
The image depicts a framed, horizontally oriented composition divided into stacked registers. At the top and sides are bands containing dense black hieroglyph-like signs on a light background, interspersed with small vignettes of seated and standing figures. A central, large rectangular area shows a long woven/striped offering or barrier-like surface across the width, with seated figures on both sides and additional attendants. In a middle register, a standing person gestures toward offerings, while the lower register includes extensive stylized green vegetation with flowering plants. A black-and-white cow stands prominently near the center-right of the middle/lower area. The right side contains a large curved green form and a number of dark circular/oval motifs within an architectural or garden-like setting; the bottom includes a thick decorative border strip. No clearly legible royal cartouche is visible at this resolution; the hieroglyph bands appear decorative/inscriptive but individual sign identification is uncertain. The overall style appears like a modern painted copy or illustration rather than a New Kingdom original, given the clean printing/paint edges and the catalog’s attribution to Twentieth Century tempera on paper.
