This fragment is part of a wall showing Nebamun inspecting flocks of geese and herds of cattle. Hieroglyphs describe the scene and record what the farmers say as they squabble in the queue.
The alternating colours and patterns of cattle create a superb sense of animal movement. The artists have left out some of the cattle's legs to preserve the clarity of the design. The herdsman is telling the farmer in front of him in the queue:
'Come on! Get away! Don't speak in the presence of the praised one! He detests people talking... Pass on in quiet and in order... He knows all affairs, does the scribe and counter of grain of [Amun], Neb[amun]'.
The name of the god Amun has been hacked out in this caption where it appears in Nebamun's name and title. Shortly after Nebamun died, King Akhenaten (1352-1336 BC) had Amun's name erased from monuments as part of his religious reforms.
