This model in a square form represents a scene of counting grain. One distinguishes several workers, who are busy in the front court, and a man and two women seated on the roof of the granary. The grain is normally introduced into the granary by a hole in the roof, an opening which is not visible in our model. For the withdrawal of the grain, one used three openings - simply painted here - leading into the court.
