Description
	Man Museum web site: Wooden model of a granary , with four figures of people working inside. The granary is a rectangular building with walls that peak at each corner. A door in one side swings open, and a flight of seven steps leads up to a flat roof, where there are holes for pouring grain into the bins below. The doors of the bins are outlined in red paint, and there is a red wooden block on the granary floor. Holes in the surface of the granary's floor and roof show where the figures were originally placed. Each figure has a red painted body and a white painted skirt, with the hair and eyes painted in black. One figure has a piece of linen wrapped around the skirt, too. Tooley-1989 (p. 107) : Tomb 1525.
