From the Museo Egizio record

The deceased, whose name is Tjenenu, is standing on the left with his wife, who has her arm around his shoulders, and his dog in front of him. The inscription and the sash hanging from his waist identify him as a Nubian, while the bow and the bundle of arrows he holds in his right hand show he is an archer. On the right are a servant offering him a cup and four brothers, all of them Nubian bowmen. Dimensions: 46 cm x 34 cm x 10 cm. Museum location: Museum / Floor 3 / Writing Gallery / Showcase 16.
