A bad boy beaten by cat and a mouse
(oi)A comic sketch or perhaps a sketch of a popular (childrens?) story. The mouse is dressed like a high official of the 18th dynasty. Somewhere around 1400BCE (~J3400).
A tree grows in Egypt
(oi)A picture of a tree with a pair of grasshoppers and a bird and next (kinda hard to see).
Khenetaa's coffin
(fm)A bull drawn on the bottom of Khenetaa's coffin. Like the lady next to her on this page, Meresamun, Khenetaa's coffin also has a bull. She and Meresamun lived at about the same time.
The bad boy sketch on the left was already some 500 years old when this coffin was built.
