Text, Nebamun viewing his geese and cattle

These paintings are parts of a wall showing Nebamun inspecting geese and cattle. He watches as farmers bring the animals to him; his scribes (secretaries) record the number of animals for him. Hieroglyphs describe the scene and the farmers' conversation, talking and squabbling among themselves as they queue up. Nebamun is depicted as a man of wealth and authority, supervising large numbers of servants and animals. Everything is designed to show Nebamun's prestige; he is shown at a larger scale than other people and is posed formally. Even his skin is painted differently.
