CHAPTER VII--AESTHETIC ART
30/60

Here a marsh is represented in which are growing papyrus and other water-plants.

Aquatic birds swim on the surface or fly through the tall reeds.

Four boats form the chief objects in this part of the field.

In one, which is fashioned like a bird, there sits under a canopy a grandee, with an attendant in front and a rower or steersman at the stern.

Behind him, in a second boat, is a band consisting of three undraped females, one of whom plays a harp and another a tambourine, while the third keeps time with her hands.
