Interpretation

Commentary
This individual is the brother of the author of BES19s 30. The inscription accompanies a scene of a celebration with six men performing a line dance, a leader, and a long-haired man playing the double-reed flute (miǧwiz). The belts across the chest are similar to those worn by Bedouin men today.
