Description   

The boat is going downstream against the prevailing north wind, propelled by the towing crew and the stong current. The captain reports to the owner, Mekutra, who sits in the front of his cabin door listening to a singer and a blind harpist. The singer holds is hand in front of his face to produce a warbling sound. The mast next stands in the stepping for the mast. The mast itself and sail was lost before the model was put in the tomb. Cords on the rudder and bumper are restored.
