Three registers with two offering bearers in each remain on the short west wall south of the door to Room II (pl. 89b; fig. 84a). As on the east wall opposite, the relief is of poor quality with deep lines incised around the figures and the background unevenly cut away. All six figures faced right but only the foremost figure in each register was identified by name and title. Although the second figure in each register is damaged and any details of costume lost, the foremost figure wears a folded kilt with belt and overlap, and presumably all six figures were similarly attired originally. Although all six bearers probably had their hair close-cropped, the line of the hair around the face survives only in the case of the foremost figures in the middle and lower registers. A large round hole drilled through the name of the foremost figure in the second register may represent a place where a nodule of flint was removed. The falling away of the plaster with which it would have been filled resulted in the loss of the first sign in his name.
