Description
	Breasted: 5. Cairo Museum. Although no figures or their equipment were preserved in this model, the arched beams radiating from two central posts strongly suggest a building used for spinning and weaving. Quibell has called it a 'vineyard.' But vineyards in Egypt did not grow within the four walls of a groin-vaulted building, nor is there a single vineyard so represented in any wall paintings or reliefs The walls and arched beams of this model are painted blue. From Sakkara, tomb of Karenen. 60 cm. x 50 cm.
