Oxen (Primary Title)
Unknown (Artist)
Models of people and animals from Middle Kingdom tombs provide information about Egyptian daily life. Representations of cows and oxen were common in tombs because cattle were important to both economic and religious life. These two young oxen may originally have been part of a cattle-counting or butchering scene.
