HOUSE (MODEL)

The painted model of the courtyard of a house shows groups of men and women engaged in household tasks.

Three men and a woman prepare a meal for the master. The first man is tending the fire, the second is lost in thought, and the woman is cooking. In the second group of men, one carries a pot on his head and another carries water jars.

Four depressions show the placement of the feet of other figures whose bodies are now lost.
