Our wall faced a lot of difficulties in our efforts to replicate the
wall scenes depicted in Senneferi's tomb, as our wall was destroyed. We had no background
information on what would have been there, so by looking at other New Kingdom tombs of
this period we collected scenes that were common and that could have been placed
there. A
major problem was drawing the scenes, as they were on calico on the window. This made it
hard to outline the figures properly. Another problem was drawing Senneferi and his wife
praising Osiris the wrong way round. So we had to paint layers of white paint over
the black texta, then redraw the figures the correct way round. A major difficulty was one
of time. We didn't have enough time to cover unknown information of our wall and put it
all together onto the wall itself. We spent too much time on the frieze, leaving again
less time. So half the wall is still incomplete due to lack of time and resources.
