Scenes of work in the fields
Detail of the sub-registers with scenes of work in the fields. Lower sub-register, from the left: several male figures in skirts are bent over harvesting grain with the help of scythes. Between them, a female figure in a long light-coloured dress. On the right: two men carry cut wheat in a basket, between them is a child bent down to pick up the grains. Central sub-register, from the right: the grain is being sifted (scene partly visible); a servant bows before Menna, handing him two containers. Menna is standing under a canopy, wearing a semi-transparent dress with short sleeves and a skirt and clutching a staff, a sign of his role as steward. Then follows the scene of measuring and recording, by eight scribes, the quantities of grain produced. Upper sub-register: scene of measuring the field in the presence of the scribes.
