Breasted: 7. Philadelphia, University Museum, E 14259 (Pl. 11a). Intermediate period. Model contains eight figures. two of which are in court, the rest on granary roof. Three of the figures on the roof stand beside beer jugs which they are scaling. As this is most unusual in a granary scene, it is possible that the jars contain grain instead; each jar has its own stand. Three other figures on roof kneel facing court, with their hands touching the cornice. Between two of these figures is a jug with a very narrow neck. An overseer, baton in hand, stands in court, watching second figure gather up grain into a lump-shaped grain measure. The usual small stairway leads to granary roof. A doorway with a door which swings in on a pivot is in corner of court opposite stairway. On the granary wall facing the court four bin doors are painted in red outline.
