The first character seated on the left is Tutuja, with behind him is his brother Mesu. Tutuja stretches out his hand towards a small table containing breads, only roughly drawn in outline, before him. The couple seated behind them are Khabekhnet and his wife Sahti.
All four of these characters are seated, feet on a raised carpet or cushion, on high-backed chairs; the legs of which end in lion paws. The men all have a goatee beard, wear long pleated skirts and a headband, also an ointment cone, but no jewellery. They hold tightly in their right hand a piece of cloth. Mesu and Khabekhnet both hold a open lotus blossom to their nose. Sahti lovingly holds her husband's shoulders. She is clothed in a long pleated dress, wearing earrings and a beautiful tripartite wig surmounted with an ointment cone pierced by an opened blue lotus.
Two small girls stand under the second and fourth chairs. They carry the sidelock of childhood, but are fully clothed in long pleated dresses, which suggests that they are pubescent. The first is named Taia, and the second (view) Henutweret.
Behind these seated hosts advance eight characters (view), six men, a woman and a girl. None, except the woman, have an ointment cone on the head. The men are in short pleated skirts, the woman and the girl wear a long pleated dress. The woman, like the previous one, has a beautiful tripartite wig. All bring gifts which are, without exception, of natural products, gifts of the Nile.
The first man : Bunakhtef, brings two stems of papyrus in bloom.
The second : Rahotep, a papyrus and a duck from the Nile.
The woman : Irunefer, a papyrus and a small oval vial with a long neck, containing the water from the beginning of the flood.
The third and fourth man, standing side-by-side : Khonsu and Ramose, offer the shoots of papyrus and a duck.
The fifth and sixth, again side-by-side : Anhohep and Kanekhu, a duck, a bouquet and two papyrus stems.
The girl who finishes the parade is not named. She, like the other two girls, has a sidelock of youth. She holds a papyrus stem in both hands.
