Fragments of wall with inlay decoration

no other examples of the use of this particular technique are known, the forms were carved into the limestone and afterwards filled with coloured paste (which, however, began to fall off as it dried); the first register is very ruined, animal legs and plant elements can be glimpsed; in the middle register is depicted the hunting of waterfowl (geese) with a hexagonal net and underneath some geese pecking through the grass, between the men and the net is the hieroglyphic sekh (meaning to close); in the lower register are scenes of ploughing, cattle pulling the plough pushed by men, between the men and the cattle is the hieroglyphic seka (ploughing)
