Neferherenptah

After the capture in the trees, comes a classic scene of the capture of the birds in a net between two undergrowths of papyrus.
The men have their loincloths rotated towards the rear, in order to be at ease, thus exposing their genitalia, which permits to note that they were circumcised. They wear short, curly wigs, which is rather astonishing in this kind of activity. Indeed, they can be seen clutching the rope which is going to serve to close the trap, the artist knew how... to represent the tension which precedes the moment where the order to pull awaits to be given (see cm-27 and bs-10520). In the net and above are located an unbelievable number of birds, to which three bird-catchers are interested. The abA-bird is mentioned in the text: "The abA-birds caught by means of a net by the bird-hunters of pr-dt" has been identified as being the Streptopelia turtur, the turtle-dove, very widespread in Egypt
