THE CHAPEL - continued

South wall

With a length of 7.25m and a height of 4.65m (Steindorff), its decor begins, as in the other rooms, 1.50m above floor-level. It can be subdivided into three large sections of equal importance, each of which includes ten registers, as shown in the ). In each section, Ty, sometimes accompanied by members of his family, acts as observer and supervisor. Three vertical slots (A, B and C) give access to the second serdab of the tomb, which is located behind this wall. These are approximately 10cm wide by 30cm in height and are located within the bottom register of the wall, with one in each of the subdivisions. Thus, the statues of Ty could magically have access to any part, to take advantage of the offerings which were located there, and to verify if the rituals were well presented.
Part of the wall is destroyed, on the left-hand side, whilst on the right-hand side other large damaged areas exist.

Left-hand (east) part of the wall

(see , and )

This is the area which can be seen from the doorway to the chapel, more than half of which has disappeared, but the surviving decor, where Ty is presented twice, is of a high quality (see ). The right-hand side of the registers backs directly on to those of the middle section of the wall, with no fixed or defined boundary.

Register 1 : to the left of the slot to the serdab

(see bottom of and ).

Next to the opening, it states (1) for the man is "burning incense for Ty, by the funerary priest" (Ty's name is actually located below the brazier, whilst the term "funerary priest" is written above the priest's head). With his left hand, he holds the bottom of a brazier, whilst with the thumb and index finger of his right hand he slightly opens the lid, showing the burning content (probably wads of resin) so that the "vapours which makes one divine" (the Egyptian term for incense) can arrive at the nostrils of the statues in the serdab.
Three "servants of the funerary domain" stand behind him: an unidentified steward, the "scribe Heni" and an unidentified archivist who holds his scribe's material.

Register 1 : to the right of the slot to the serdab

(see lower register of and )

First, on the left, is another funerary priest with an incense burner, symmetrical in relation to the one on the other side of the opening in both representation and the text, with the exception of the fact that the term "funerary priest" is missing. Next come two areas dedicated, like the register above it, to woodworking and leather craft, as well as a market/trading scene.

A - Adjusting poles

(see ).

Here two men straighten or perhaps even bend some stripped branches, in order to produce a pole, a spear or perhaps a bow. This operation is achieved in several stages of which only the last is presented to Ty. Firstly the branch would be stripped of the twigs. In order for it to be straighten it is then heated and then quickly stripped of its bark using a metal tool. Then follows the operation of bending, which is shown here.
This requires a post which is firmly driven into the ground, at the top of which is fastened a forked beam. The two branches of the fork are fasted tightly with a rope, thus forming a triangle, into which is placed the part of the branch to be manipulated. An assistant also places a lever at this point and together the two men make the adjustment, the pressure being applied by the man sitting stride the branch to be corrected. As the branch cools, it retains whatever has been done to it.
The accompanying text (2), above the operation, states: "pressing efficiently down on the branch will correct what is in it".

B - The tanner

(see ).

The working with leather, which has been covered on large registers since the Old Kingdom, is (from lack of space) represented by only one character accompanied by two short texts. The man works using a wooden tripod and his texts (3) state that he is the "leather worker of sandal (s) "; his lower text states that he is "stretching a skin".

C - Behind the tanner : a market / trading scene

The reason for its presence here as a supplement to the professions is not evident. Indeed, this 'market' does seem to only have the products made in these accompanying workshops of Ty. For instance, there are no food products. It is therefore possible that this is intended to show the sale of surplus products, or even the exchange of the products for more raw materials.

The first sketch (see and ) shows a man sitting on a mat, a bag around his chest. He works with an awl or punch, the long object in his left hand, and according to the text (4) this is "cutting (or working on) a seal by the manufacturer of seals". The seals in the shape of a cylinder were frequently used by the literate. With a hole drilled across the cylinder, their owners gladly wore them on a chain.
Opposite him, a man bends down with interest; the text above him, "TTti" (of unknown translation) could either be his name or it could indicate that his profession was associated with ropes. He also wears a bag over his shoulder. He appears to hold in his hand something which may be a seal and another small object. Perhaps he comes to offer something in exchange for a seal.

The small following scene includes three people: a man, who offers a pair of sandals, accompanied by a difficult small text (6) which has been proposed by Roquet to mean "They (the 2 sandals) depend on my skill" or "they are of my manufacture". He is faced by two potential purchasers. The first, who already has his hands on one of the sandals, offers a cloth or a mat, which he has rolled under his right arm, whilst the second purchaser, who is identified (5) as a "manufacturer of ointment", presents a small pot of ointment in his hand. Another pot is represented, although in an illogical way, under a the loop of the bag which hangs over his shoulder on his back. This latter man presents a slight paunch of a stomach.

Next there are two isolated characters, accompanied by incomprehensible texts (see ). The first, who carries some fans, has (7) : "I give this…"? The second, according to Montet, transports some caskets.

Two men examine and negotiate a staff. The seller takes one half way out of a bag, whilst proclaiming (9,10 and 11) "See this beautiful staff, it's dry, my dear! A measure of wheat for it". The purchaser, probably a drover, recognisable by his beard (and who uses a staff for his work), express his satisfaction (12) : "I like its head (its pommel) ".

Registers 2 and 3

A - The seated Ty

(see )

Ty, facing towards the right, occupies the height of two and a half registers, those of 2,3 and 4. He is seated on a small cushion which rises behind him; this in turn rests on a low stool whose feet are in the shape of the hooves of a bull. He wears a long wig and a short square goatee beard. Around his neck spreads a large necklace over which hangs a pendant on a chain. According to Egyptian convention, the front of his loincloth (the element indicating the status of the person), which actually lies flat on his knees, is represented obliquely. His right hand tightly holds a folded piece of material, and his left grasps his long staff (this hand and the top of staff are now destroyed. Behind him can still be recognised the classic motif of rectangles which edge the register.
His wife Neferhetepes is kneeling in front of him (see ), her name just visible above her head. She wraps her right arm around his left leg. On her chest, she wears a large necklace, whilst a 'choker' tightly encircles her neck. Under Ty's seat is an unidentified dog with a ribbon around its neck, squatting on its hind legs with its corkscrew tail resting on the floor.

B - Register 2 : to the right of the Ty

(see upper register of )

This is occupied entirely of mixed scenes of joinery, with no logical order to them.

Immediately opposite Neferhetepes stands worker, whom text (2) says is a "polisher" in the process of (2b) "polishing" a (1) "wooden shrine" (see ).

Then one can observe two squatting men polishing a chest (view cd_31), which is confirmed by the text (4) "rubbing a chest with the senet (?) by the polishers of the estate"; Montet suggests that the 'senet' could be powdered stone, playing the role of an abrasive (equating to the modern glass paper). The worker on left shouts to his colleague (3) "Hurry yourself !", to which the other replies (5) "I am doing".

Next comes a woodworker, half kneeling, who trims a piece of wood with an adze, accompanied by the text (6) : "working with expensive wood by the woodworker".

The next one, standing, is occupied sawing a long plank. Examining the system closer: it allows the carpenter, who uses saw with a copper blade which is hardly efficient, to saw straight, without vibrations and without sticking. The top of the plank is tightly fastened with a rope to a vertical stake fixed firmly in the ground. In the already cut slot, now secured by the rope, he has introduced a wooden rod between the two separated pieces and the rope, the end of the rod being weighted by a stone. Thus, vibrations are limited and the spacing remains constant.
Two texts come with the scene: (7) "sawing [with] a saw" and a second which indicates the existence of an invisible assistant, to whom our workman addresses: (10) "Go get a new one, this one is warm"; as can be seen, he is having to use both hands to force his long saw (which could be up to two cubits in length - more than a metre) whose blade requires sharpening, so he therefore requires another one.

The following character is squatting in front of a wooden block and he is in the process of hitting his chisel with a mallet into the wood. His two texts (8 and 9) state: "chisel worker, make your holes thick (= deep) ".

Next we again find a man sawing a plank. This time, he is squatting and holds the plank with his left hand to stop it from vibrating, because it is a lot smaller and doesn't require the previous equipment. The text (11) is, unsurprisingly: "sawing with a saw".

Two men lean forward over a bed, above which is the long hieroglyph text (12) : "polishing an ebony bed, by the polisher of the estate". Note should be made of the triangular determinative (marked in red on the photo), which is also found in text (13), above the man on the right: "polishing". The actual word 'sSp" normally means 'to be or make bright', but this usually has the sun-disk determinative ; however, here the determinative is the shape of the implement used in polishing, thus , probably a buffing tool. But here the men seem to use a flat stone to do work, which may have been covered with a cloth. Under this bed with feet which are in the shape of hooves, is a chest and a headrest.

A man kneels in front of a cabinet, the short legs of which can only just be seen. His text (14) states: "drilling a cabinet (by) a woodworker". With his left hand he supports the top of the drill with an inverted cup-shaped object, whilst in his right hand he holds a bow with which to turn the drill (see ).

This scene, like the others of this part of the wall, back directly on to the scenes of the central section, which here starts with a man standing and facing away from the woodworkers. Note that there is no separation between the two areas.

C - Register 3 : to the right of the Ty

(see lower register of )

Statues
Originally, work on eight statues was represented here, but now only three have survived; of the others, there are only the bases and the feet of the sculptors.
On the left, in the major surviving section, a man sits on a stool working on the rear of a seated statue (see ). He is ready to strike his chisel (now extinct) with great effort with the aid of his mallet, the partially destroyed text above him (1) states: "work carried out by the sculptor". The two harpoon shaped glyphs indicate the word "sculptor".
The two standing statues are incontestably of wood (see ) and the workers use the tools which have already been met in the joinery register below. The text (2) above the man who kneels behind the statue and works with the adze, is without doubt: "woodworker". Whereas the text (3) above the statue, states just that: "statue". This is well advanced, and his colleague in front of it, designated (4) as a "sculptor", uses the handle of his mallet to make small strokes with the chisel. On the second statue, a twin of the previous one (both shown in profile), are two kneeling man, both with the same descriptive text (5 and 6) : "polishing by the sculptor".

The seated statue on the right is certainly not of wood (see ). Firstly, there appears not to exist any seated wooden statues of the Old Kingdom. Next, on examination of the tools, one sees that the two seated workers use stone (possibly flint) hatchets. Finally, the text (7) above of the one of left simply designates him as a "craftsman", whilst above the one of right (8) says "work carried out by the craftsman".

All these status were produced in the shops governed by Ty, and destined to be placed in the serdabs. A close examination shows that the fourth statue has the lower legs and feet of a woman (they are not in the usual dark red of the male figures), thus this may be none other than Neferhetepes, the wife of Ty (see (). It is unknown as to whether there were statues of his sons, but it is very unlikely.
Notice that above each piece is the word (3) "statue". They obviously didn't want anyone to be in doubt as which were the workers. Thus, were the blows made by the craftsmen without consequence?

vases
The text (9) above the two following characters states: "work carried out with a drill". They are actually drilling out the interior of the two vases, using a tool consisting of a long stem at the upper end to which is fixed a strangely shaped wooden handle, enabling the implement to be twisted. Imagine the dexterity and the patience of the craftsman which was necessary to arrive at the final result, certainly when he sometimes drilled extremely hard stones. The implement used does, however, seem a little large.
Here, work is being carried out on two vases typical of the Old Kingdom, one slim, with a constriction towards the middle, the other more flared, of which thousands of copies have been found (see ).

Register 4

(see upper register of )

Nothing much remains of this register, which was dedicated to the work of metallurgy, and probably of gold. No photos are available.
On the left kneel four workers, blowing with a long blow torches at the flames surrounding the crucible containing the smelting ore. The text which accompanied it is incomprehensible.
Next is a man pouring molten metal into a mold. Note that the artist didn't judge it necessary to represent the indispensable protection around the unbearably hot burning crucible held by the worker. The two men to his right kneel either side of a flat solid object, probably made of stone, with which they transform metal into a thin sheet. Here, the metal has already cooled (which is termed as being tempered) and the whole must be re-heated. So, raising their arms for assistance, they request of an invisible aid, (1) "Return this plate to be heated, it has hardened".

Registers 5,6 and 7

(see )

The few remaining fragments are appropriate to the harvest. On register five (at the bottom), there appear to be two strong men twisting with all their strength, with the help of a pole, a bag containing wine must. Above (register six), a man empties a basket into the fruit treading area, whose text (2) states "emptying the grapes". In register seven is the remains of a basket porter, accompanied by the text (1) : "bringing the clusters of grapes for treading".

Registers 8,9 and 10

(see )

In what remains of register eight, can be seen a forked stake, which could be part of a bird farm, because on the two registers above can be seen the capture of gnw-birds, which have been identified as orioles. Although it is also possible that this stake is part of a vine orchard and thus part of the scenes below. On the upper two registers, on the left, birds are seen in full flight; whilst on the right they are being crammed into cages. Both registers state (text 1 in R10 and text 2 in R9) : "bringing the gnw (-birds) " in front of the men catching them in flight. In register nine the man stuffing them into boxes is said to be (1) "placing (them in) a birdcage".

Ty and his family

(see et )

Ty is shown standing, as we have already seen several times. This time he has short braided beard and wearing sandals in his feet. He is accompanied by "[…] the venerable (or blissful) before Neith, Neferhetepes". In front of him, his son Ty (junior) holds the lower end of his father's staff with one hand whilst holding an oriole bird with the other.

Central part of the wall

(see the centre section of the and )

This is organised around the second opening of the serdab. It is dedicated to parades of various animals in order to count them, once again under the surveillance of Ty. Such censuses were important dates of the calendar, leading to important ceremonies, and took place – in principle - every two years. The animals came from the farms, enclosures, and the enclosures of the ka, which together make up the domain (per djet).

Although the ten registers are numbered (by convention) from the bottom register upwards, they will be dealt with from the top (register 10) downwards. These registers include parades of animals, of which the chiefs of domains must give account to the scribes, under the unfailing surveillance of Ty (see and ). As usual each animal type has its own unique set of registers, starting at the top: first the antelopes and other gazelles of the desert (10 - 7), then the oxen (6 - 2) and finally the birds (register 1).

The representation of Ty

(see )

Ty is accompanied by its wife, Neferhetepes, but no child is present. The image of the couple is located to the right of registers 5 to 10, therefore in the upper part of this section of the wall. In the image he stands facing the parades, with his wife kneeling behind him. The top of his head comes up to the bottom of register 8, with the remaining height above him being occupied by columns of text, which include his name and titles together with those of his wife. Their representation offers nothing in addition to what has been seen before.

Registers 10 to 7

This group of registers contain the parade of the animals of the desert (see ). The ancient Egyptian craftsmen were indeed of remarkably naturalistic in their presentation, and it should be noted that every animal is carefully differentiated, especially in the horns.

A - Register 10

The animals of this register are identified by the text above them. From the right can be found, firstly a "female gazelle" which is tethered and licks its hind leg, followed of a "female addax" held by its chin and horns by a herdsman; its young calf stands next to its front legs. Next, another herdsman leads the two "young oryx"; he is followed by a third who clutches the horns of a "female ibex" accompanied by its young. Finally, the last herdsman controls a bubalis antelope (or hartebeest) with difficulty, the text above him stating: "Lassoing a bubalis antelope"; the animal is uncooperative and has its head turned towards the man.

B - Register 9

Again, starting at the right, the animals are identified. As previously the first animal, an "oryx", is tethered, whilst the "overseer" (identified by the single S38 hieroglyph, a crook or sceptre) places his hand on the hind quarters of the animal in a gesture which seems loving. Next is an "ibex" which is being controlled with difficulty, whilst behind it his colleague slaps its rear whilst holding tightly onto his own animal, a "young oryx" by the horns. The final animal is an "ibex", which again seems to refuse to move. Two men try to control it, and their conversation is recorded in front of them, either side of the animal's identifying text. The one at the rear shouts (1) to his colleague, "Pull it towards you!" and the other answers (3) "I'm doing you a favour", probably meaning "I'm doing my best".

C - Register 8

This time, on the right, it is an "addax" which is tethered to the ground. Behind it, a man wraps his right arm around the horns of an "isabelle gazelle", whilst with his left he holds the muzzle of the animal. Next come two "bubalis antelope". The final two animals are accompanied by their young, the first being a "female addax" (note the hieroglyph of the uterus in its naming text), then finally a "female gazelle".

D - Register 7

Finally, in this last of the registers with desert animals, the artist has included before the identifying name of each animal the word "bringing". The register begins again with a tethered animal, but this time it is accompanied by an untether one which is held by the horns and muzzle. They are both "barbary sheep" (a species of goat-antelope native to rocky mountains in north Africa). Behind, two men seem to have some difficulties in controlling a "fallow deer", the stag appears to be in heat. One man stands at the front holding its horns, whilst his companion controls the rear of the animal. Next, five men carry young animals. The first and the fourth are designated as an "isabelle gazelle", the second as an "oryx" and the third as a "gazelle". The fifth man carries two baskets suspended from a beam on his shoulders, in each basket are two unidentified baby animals; judging by the horns, the last two are gazelles.

Registers 6 to 2

A - Register 6

(see upper register of )

The following register (5) is actually a continuation of this one. The combined registers include a parade fat oxen presented to Ty, who is immediately on the right, to whom a man gives account.

On the right, the man identified (3) as a "steward" unfolds a papyrus, the contents of which he presents to his master, as indicated by the very abbreviated text (4) : "giving (what has been) seen". This report will not only include the exact number of heads of livestock, but also the quality and health of the animals. Behind him, a drover – easily recognisable by his looks and his clothes - leads a "young ox". The beast, one of whose horns is twisted in the opposite direction to the other, is tall and its neck is adorned with a beautiful and large pendant (see ).
Next is a better dressed man, wearing a wig. His right hand is placed on the rear of the animal which precedes him, whilst with his left holds a tether attached an "ox" (see ). Considering that the leading animal is only a "young" one, it is certainly larger than the one behind.
The third beast of the register is being lead by a young boy and it is followed by two more aged drovers who are dressed in kilts with forward projections. This usually indicates their higher status. They each carry on their right shoulder a stick to which is suspended a bag, probably containing their provisions. The last holds another object in his left hand. This third animal has the same beautiful neck adornment as the first one, whilst the middle animal has a far simpler one.

B - Register 5

(see lower register of )

The first drover, on the right, leads an "ox" with large lyre-shaped horns and again it wears the beautiful neck decoration. Its drover holds the tether in his right hand whilst clutching what appears to be a mat in the other. The next animal turns its head away from its drover, who tightly clutches its rope in both hands whilst facing it. Perhaps the animal is interested in the small bundle of hay held by the man leading the next animal. The drover of the distracted animal seems to ask (3) the animal "Is that what you like?". The last animal, a "young ox", seems to be pulling its drover. Perhaps this young animal is also after the hay. The men of this register wear very little and that which they wear only covers their buttocks.

C - Register 4

(see upper register of )

This is a far more complex register than any of the ones above. It consists of three scenes, only one of which, on the left, again contains a parade of bovine animals. To its right is a small scene of herdsmen being manhandled by overseers. This is divided from the next section by an upright block of text. The right-hand part is divided into two sub-registers of men recording the information.

The left hand side, with the cattle, consists of only two animals, both of which are identified as an "ox". Both are led a drover, the man leading the left-hand one holds a mat in his left hand.

Further to the right, the text (2) states: "bring the peasants of the domain to give account". The drovers, classed as peasants, are being brought without care to give some account of the herds. The supervisors, cane under the armpit and ready to beat some of them, grasp them and throw them on the ground without care.

Between the last scene and the next is a dividing wall which includes a short vertical inscription (3) "accounting, by the assessors of the estate".

On the right, divided into two sub-registers are the accountants, five of which are identified (4) as a "scribe". Whilst, the last scribe of the upper sub-register turns to the person behind him, who is identified (5) as an "archivist". They pass between them a sheet of papyrus. Without any descriptive text this action can be understood in two ways: either the archivist passes to his colleague a new leaf of papyrus which he has taken from the chest behind him, or he examines what is written on it to know where to archive it. Immediately below him, in the other sub-register, one of his colleagues arranges other rolls of papyrus in another box.

C - Register 3

(see lower register of )

This register contains far more bovine animals than on any of the preceding ones. In total there are seven: mainly, according to text (1) "young ox" and only one "ox", with only four drovers in charge of them. The lead drover appears to be carrying a reed mat in his left hand. The last animal, on the left, has a twisted horn, like the one seen in register six.

F - Register 2

(see upper register of )

This is the final register dedicated to oxen. In the lead, on the right, is a drover who, with the aid of a tether, pulls a large "ox". This animal, as seen sever times already, wears a very beautiful neck adornment with a large pendant, with a similar one attached at the top and which lies on its shoulders. The animal is also pushed from behind by an aide provided with a stick. This man wears a projecting kilt with vertical stripes. The two animals which follow are both identified as a "young ox", although the first of these is definitely a cow (the udders are represented) and the animals has no horns; so here the hieroglyphic text is wrong. The man leading the next animal, correctly identified as a "young ox", has been almost destroyed when the slot to the serdab was opened and the wall again repaired. Behind, on two sub-registers, are four calves each with its tether attached to a fastening in the ground. Each has a blanket over its back. Behind them, at the left edge of the register, is a herdsman with a long staff in his hand, wearing a striped projecting kilt (see ).

Register 1

(see lower register of )

This register is divided by the slot to the serdab, the statue chamber which lies behind this wall. To either side, the wall was originally decorated with the image of a funerary priest making an encensement, but these have almost been totally been lost.

A - To the left of the opening

(see )

This area is given over to representations of various fowl on several sub-registers (three on the left, two on the right). The birds of the three left sub-registers are unidentified. Those of the right sub-registers are all given different identifying species names, but confusion still exists over their interpretation to corresponding modern names. They are (possibly) as follows: (1) a "white goose" or "greylag goose", (2) a "white-fronted goose" or "widgeon", (3) a "common goose", (4) "pintail duck", (5) an "ashen goose" and finally (6) a "pintail duck".

B - To the right of the opening

(see and )

This half of the register is occupied by great water birds framed by two guards who control them with the end of a stick; above of them is an explanatory text (7) : "bringing for inspection and paying tribute from the farms of the domain". Two species are represented, one of which has a much more flamboyant plumage, these are: (11) "demoiselle crane". The other eleven are: (8) "common crane" and (9) an unspecified "crane" (the hieroglyphic spelling is different) and (11) "young common crane".

Right-hand (west) part of the wall

(see the right-hand side of the )

This section of the wall has, at the right-hand end of its bottom register, the third slot of the serdab. The wall is dominated at the top by six sub-registers of offerings, a large tabular list of offerings and, at the right, the name and titles of Ty. Below this, on the right, at the height of two registers (5 and 6) sits Ty. The bottom area has four registers (1 to 4).

Registers 1 and 2

Both of these two registers contain scenes of butchery, register 1 being at the bottom (see right-hand side of ).

A - Register 1

This is occupied by five scenes of the butchery of cattle, already seen paraded on the previous part of the wall. On the left, one of the butchers is occupied (1) "sharpening the knife". Then two others are busy working on the slaughtered animal which is laid on its back (2) "slaughtering by the butcher" and (3) "pulling the heart by the butcher".
To their right, a man holds a vessel to receive the heart; there is no text relating to his action. Following this group are two more butchers cutting off a front leg. The first man holds the leg and is told by his colleague (5) : "Pull, butcher", to which he replies (4) "I'm doing it, strongly". Once again they are accompanied by a man with a vessel.
The following scene shows two men, the text for the one on the right states (6) "pulling the heart by the butcher". However, the artist (probably not fully understanding what he has to write) has made an error; he has written half of the text (6a) in the wrong direction, as if it belongs to the left-hand man. They are again accompanied by a man carrying a vessel for the internal organ.
Then, just before the slot of serdab, comes a scene titled (7) "slaughtering of an ox by the butcher" in which the man at the rear (left) has already made a large slash on the flank of the beast and says to the one who faces him (8) "Hold firmly".
To either side of the serdab slot would have been, as before, a funerary priest; in fact the upper part of the one on the right still exists together with (9) "funerary priest". This, as already mention, is actually written as "hem-ka" and literally means "servant of the ka" or "servant of the soul".
Behind him is the final butchery scene of this register, titled (10) "cutting up the ox by the butcher". The man on the right says to the one who hold the knife (1) "You pull towards you, butcher".

B - Register 2

(see upper register of )

This time, the animals being butchered are from the desert, two ibexes and three oryx. They are in the process of being cut up by the (1) "butcher" after having been slaughtered. The first animal is identified (3) as a "young ibex". The butcher with the knife commands (2) "pull strongly towards you!" and the one opposite replies (4) "I do as you teach".
Next right, a butcher is plunging his hand in the body of the unhappy victim (the type isn't specified) in order to (5) "pull the heart", whilst behind him (6) a "funerary priest", who already has a foreleg on his left shoulder, stretches out his right hand to grab the internal organ which is going to be extracted.
The following scene concerns (8) "cutting up an oryx", this time the man orders the other to (7) "Hold firmly".
In the next scene the man with the knife, who this time stands on the right, orders his companion to "Pull towards you firmly", and he gets the reply (9) "I'm doing what you please".
To the left of the next pair of butchers is a porter with a large vessel, probably for the blood. The two men are, according to the text of the scene (11) "cutting up an oryx by a butcher".
To the left of the next pair of butchers is a porter with a large vessel probably for the blood, the two men are, according to the text of the scene (11) "cutting up an oryx by a butcher". Finally, at the left of the last scene, a butcher sharpens his tool (12) "sharpening a knife by a butcher", while two men are at work (14) "removing the heart", and the one holding the leg says (13) "Do it quickly", perhaps because the (6) "funerary priest" is already leaving with the front leg of the animal.

Register 3

(see lower register of )

The porters of offerings of registers three to six form, in reality, a continuous line which culminates in the stack of gifts piled before Ty on the upper registers.
The register contains fifteen porters, whose responsibility is varied. Their offerings include: pieces of ox (including a head on a tray), breads, flowers and various vases.
Each porter is identified with the simple hieroglyphic group and no additional descriptive information. As mentioned earlier, on , Montet has a preference for the term "porter of an offering", giving good reasons for this, which in this instance would appear to be more plausible. However it should be remembered that the priests placed on either side of the slots of the serdab are also titled with the same hieroglyphic group.

Register 4

(see upper register of )

This register has, at the left side, nine porters which are either a (1) "porter of offering (or funerary priest) " or (2) "overseer of the porters of offerings". On the left, three men carry a wide variety of objects, including: vessels, breads and long-stemmed plants. The others mainly carry poultry, ducks and cranes, with the one furthest to the right carrying, according to the text (3) "choice (best) of the birds".
The right-hand end of the register is taken up with a scene of music. The left musician is in the process of (4) "playing the flute" which is certainly very long. He is accompanied by a chanter (or singer), as indicated by (5) "chanting", who gives melody to the flute player's tune. This creates a well known scene of "cheironomy" described by Hickmann in his literature. Two harp players face each other, with the descriptive text (6) "playing the harp", between them. Finally, a second man, also (5) "chanting" provides the melodic line.

Registers 5 and 6

(see )

The right-hand side of these two registers, watching the end of the parade of porters, whose gifts have accumulated into a large pile, is the seated figure of Ty. Two tables of offerings are present, directly in front of Ty. The first (left) rests on three triangular legs and supports fruits, breads, poultry and a quarter of an ox, then above these is what seems to be figs on a tray. The second table, which stands on a single pillar, directly in front of Ty, holds vertically placed long breads. Below this table is the classic list: "1000 poultry, 1000 oxen, 1000 jars of beer, 1000 breads, 1000 pieces of cloths and finally 1000 alabaster pieces".

Ty is seated on a chair with a small backrest. The legs of the chair are in the shape of bull's legs, resting on truncated supports. The difference can be clearly seen in the shape of the front and hind legs, with the back facing angle of the rear leg's joint. Ty stretches his right hand towards the table of offering and holds a small piece of material in his left hand.

Upper area

(see )

The top area of this section of wall is divided into three parts.
Immediately above the figure of Ty are six badly preserved columns which include his titles and name.

In the centre, crossing the boundary above the offering laden tables of registers 5 and 6, are several simple low tables, on top of which are various wide vessels of different shapes. One of the vessels, on the left, which does not have a flat base protrudes through the table; obviously a hole has been provided to support it.
Above these is a large subdivided placard containing a tabular list of the offerings, including the quantities of each (see and ). Two areas of this have been destroyed. The list includes fifteen columns and eighteen lines. The basic unit is formed of a column of three lines at the top of which is the name of the commodity, in the middle is the quantity, and below is the inscription "for Ty" (see ).

In front, on the left, are six registers filled with a wide variety of food and drink, all beautifully spaced, giving a clear view of what has been presented to Ty.
