monarch, having across his shoulders a tray of valuable plants, skins of 
panthers, and chains of gold. He is followed by ^Ethiopians bringing

tives of the chief nations of Asia. In the second division, the king, 
attended by his dog Anathemnisht, is about to decapitate an Asiatic. 
In the third, crowned in the teshr or red cap, having ascended his 
chariot, he attacks an Asiatic nation, who are represented in full rout. 
The next compartment shews the monarch attacking a fortress of Central 
Asia; the nation is personified by a larger figure, while the scenes 
going on at the fortress are a female throwing a child over the battle¬ 
ments, and a man supplicating with a lighted censer, while the son or brother 
of the king attacks the door of the fortress with a hat chet; in the last com¬ 
partment he is represented bringing before the monarch a file of Asiatic 
prisoners. The nations mentioned in the hieroglyphics are the Tahen 
or Tohen and the Sharo.
