In the lower register a scribe holds up a papyrus scroll, presumably a census of Nebamun's geese; his writing tablet is tucked under his arm; behind the scribe a man brings a group of geese in a cage, and behind him is a large flock of geese. Scenes of watching agricultural activities were intended to convey the importance of the owner of the tomb. EA,37978
