ABSTRACT

The tomb owner was 'scribe and counter of grain' 'in the granary of divine', a title elsewhere sometimes followed by 'of Amun' in our tomb occasionally abbreviated to 'scribe and counter of grain '. In BM 37976 the lower extremity of what could be and a short oblique line of can just be made out. Of all the fragments of wall-paintings in museums and other collections eleven pieces in the British Museum are the most outstanding. The quality of the work and the state of preservation are remarkable; they are among the largest fragments removed from a tomb; and as far as can be ascertained they are among those with the longest record outside the tomb from which they were taken. The presence of a fishing and fowling scene in the tomb would support a date prior to or just contemporary with the early part of the reign of Amenophis III.
