Oarsmen (detail)

Detail of the pilgrimage scene to Abydos, sacred city of Osiris. Wooden boat returning from Abydos. In the background is visible part of the mast, sail and cabin, richly decorated. In the foreground are six of the eight rowers, depicted in white skirts, seated and, on this occasion, inactive. A sailor leans over the side of the boat, probably to drink water.
