Overall view of the back wall of the burial chamber. Scenes in the fields of Iaru.

Back wall of the burial chamber of the tomb of Sennedjem. The overall view shows a series of scenes including the depiction of Iaru's fields of the Afterlife in which the deceased and his wife sow, reap and plough. Above, Sennedjem and his wife are in the act of worshipping Ra, Osiris and Ptah, followed by a boy in a papyrus boat, probably a dead son of the couple, and one of the sons practising the Opening of the Mouth ritual on his father. At the top of the wall is a scene of baboons worshipping the god Ra on his boat.
