Counting the geese: mural from the tomb of Nebamun,from
Thebes, 18th dynasty, around 1350 BCE. 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
