Pictured is a closeup view of part of the middle portion of the fresco on the east wall of the south wing of the transverse chamber of TT69 featuring the a seated Menna overseeing the measurement of the crops and work in the fields. TT69, Theban Tomb No. 69, is in the area known as the Tombs of the Nobles on the West Bank at Luxor in the hills of Sheikh Abd el-Qurna. After construction the face of Menna was destroyed by vandals to deprive him of his afterlife. Menna held the title of Scribe of the Fields of the Lord of the Two Lands of Upper and Lower Egypt and he was the field overseer of Amun in ancient Egypt.
