This was a hall, with a lofty ceiling, highly colored and supported by loteform pillars of brilliant stone. Toth, the ibis-headed, and the Goddess Ma, crowned with plumes, her wings forward drooping, were painted on the walls.

The guests came in chariots with but a single attendant or in litters accompanied by a gorgeous retinue and much authority.
