Painted scene of two hunters and animals: one person appears to hold a hunting weapon while dogs or a leopard-like figure is shown, along with two red antelope-like animals in profile.

The image shows a horizontally framed painted register with an overall light background. On the left, a dark-coated animal (or dog) stands in profile with a black-and-white striped harness/attire, while a reddish vertical element intrudes from the far left edge. Near the center-left, a human figure wears a dark garment and a patterned head covering (or wig) and faces right; the figure holds a long hunting implement. In the middle, a large, light-colored animal—shaded with spots/scales like a leopard or similar large cat—stands upright or rears slightly with legs raised, facing toward the right. On the right, two red animals (antelope/gazelle-like) run or stand in profile, both with arched horns. Decorative border lines run along the top and bottom edges, and there is a green line along the right side. The catalogue specifies tempera on paper and a Twentieth Century date; the visible style matches a modern illustrated/pasted artwork rather than a direct excavation artifact, but no clear text confirming date/origin is visible. No readable hieroglyphs, cartouches, or Greek/Coptic/Arabic text are visible in the provided image.
