TAA i.3.28.4

          The gold encased semi circular mount of the fan is embossed 

and incised on both sides with scenes depicting the king hunting 

ostrich. On one side, which for convenience may be named 

the obverse, the youthful king is represented in his chariot, 

with the reins around his buttocks, shooting with bow and arrow 

a pair of ostriches. The king, standing in the act of shooting 

an arrow, wears a short wig, a collarette, the sndyt-kilt,

and insignia; his shoulders and body are bound with an 

ornamented cloth, & his left forearm and wrist is protected 

with an archer’s ‘bracer’. A quiver is slung on his back, and 

a bow-case is attached to the chariot. The chariot, with open 

lunettes at the sides, is drawn by a pair of prancing 

horses, plumed, and richly bedecked with housings and 

trappings. Accompaning^sic the horses is a ‘saluki’ hound, 

and, in front of the horses, are two terrified ostriches 

stricken with arrows. Above the birds are two sprays of flora, 

and behind the king is a human limbed ‘nh represented

in the act of running and carrying a fan – a replica 

of this flabellum. Above the scene the king is entitled: 

            [ 𓂀 ]

and over the ‘nh are the words [ 𓂀 ]

          On the reverse side of the mount, the k/<K>ing is represented 

returning leisurely in his chariot, preceded by two 

attendants carrying on their shoulders his quarry – two 

ostriches. Here, some of the ostrich-plumes are depicted
