Description
These scenes show some details of the expedition that Queen Hatshepsut sent along the Red Sea to Punt, now known as Somalia. On this fragment, is depicted the donkey that bore Ati, the wife of the chief of Punt, who was represented in an ironic way on another fragment of the same wall. The scene is accompanied by text that reveals the delicate sense of humor of the ancient Egyptians. It says, "The poor donkey, which bears his wife." That was because of her large body and her heavy weight.

Ces scènes montrent certains détails de l'expédition que la reine Hatchepsout envoya le long de la mer Rouge jusqu'au Pount, appelé aujourd'hui la Somalie. Sur le fragment est représenté l'âne qui portait Ati, La femme du gouverneur de Pount, et celle ci est représentée avec une façon ironique sur un autre fragment du même mur. La scène est accompagnée d'un texte révélant le délicat sens de l'humour des anciens Egyptiens. Il dit : "Le pauvre âne, qui porte son épouse". C'était à cause de son corps volumineux et son poids lourd.
تعرض هذه المناظر بعض تفاصيل الرحلة التى أرسلتها الملكة حتشبسوت عبر البحر الأحمر إلى بلاد بونت، "الصومال الحالية". في هذا الجزء يصور الحمار الذي كانت تمتطيه آتي زوجة حاكم بونت والتي نراها مصورة بشكل ساخر في جزء آخر من نفس الحائط. كما يظهر نص يبرز الحس الفكاهى الرقيق للمصرى القديم حيث يقول: الحمار المسكين، الذى يحمل زوجته، وذلك للإشارة لكبر حجمها وثقل وزنها.
