This model of a granary was discovered in a tomb of Antinoopolis during the excavations of A. Gayet. It consists of a square "space" with a small door. Three people are depicted: two servants, one seated and the other standing, are handling a large pot containing grain; they are being inspected by a crouching scribe who is taking stock. All the figurines are of rather average work.
