comes from the lower part of the passage wall to the chapel of Atet; one of the greatest masterpieces of the pictorial art of ancient Egypt; there are six geese on a field in a symmetrical arrangement (symmetry characterises Egyptian art throughout the Old Kingdom and later), two gather food; the group of three in the ancient Egyptian language expressed the concept of the plural; it is an example of writing, the geese, of different species, are more hieroglyphics than animals, tufts of grass
