Counting the geese: fragment of wall painting from the tomb of Nebamun, Thebes, Egypt, c1350 BC
Counting the geese: fragment of wall painting from the tomb of Nebamun (no 2), Thebes, Egypt, 18th Dynasty, c1350 BC. This fragment is divided into two main registers. In the lower register, to the left, a scribe holds up a papyrus scroll, presumably presenting the results of a census of the geese on Nebamuns estate. The scribes writing tablet is tucked under his arm, and a basket-work cylindrical container for papyrus scrolls is by his feet. Behind the scribe a man brings a group of geese in a cage, and the hieroglyphic text above him seems to begin take your time. Behind him is a large flock of geese. The text above, presumably spoken by the man herding the geese, begins do not rush with the birds. The upper register shows a similar scene, less well-preserved, with scribes squatting and recording the birds. The man who stoops behind the right-hand squatting man is saying Sit down and don t speak! In between the two main registers is a smaller, sub-register, which shows a group of men sitting in a respectful attitude, while others kiss the ground in respect of Nebamun, their master. Scenes of watching agricultural or field activities such as this were intended to convey the importance of the owner of the tomb, and thus to commemorate him in the Afterlife. From the British Museum
