On the left-hand side of the wall is painted a large standing figure of Remushenta clad in a leopard's
skin (?). In the centre was apparently painted a list of offerings, on the right-hand side of which was a
large standing figure of Remushenta seated upon a chair : below him sits a dog. The general scheme of
the paintings in this wall was probably similar to that of the East wall of Tomb No. 29 (see PI. xxx.).

figure of Remushenta, and behind him servants (?) and two dwarfs, similar to those in PI. xvi,
