"The Hunting Party"

Tutankhamen in his chariot pursues the wild beasts of the desert that fall before his swift arrows and fleet hunting dogs. Behind, an Ankh with arms and legs holds a fan over the King, wishing him the Breath of Life. Other symbols call for "all life and protection to be about him".
