Catalogue Description: Four adjoining portions of a limestone relief from a tomb (a-c) are decorated with a representation of a male servant placing a headrest upon a bed. The bed stands under a canopy supported by poles. The artist has had some difficulty in showing the servant behind the poles of the canopy: his body cuts over them and vice versa. Fragment d is decorated with a representation of a doorway (?) to the left of which are offerings consisting mainly of vases and furniture. Condition: Surface worn; chips and scratches in various places.
