Transcription

processional boat of Amo/<e>n, as represented in a fresco at

Deir el Bahari.

          The small female figure at the after end is either

punting with a pole – a practice not often shown in Egyptian

art – or else steering the vessel in the archaic fashion,

with no fixed steering paddle.
