TOMB 29 (continuation)

On the two terracotta reliefs (copies in situ) we see the profession
of Verrius Euhelpistus.
He was probably
a trader or manufacturer of iron tools.
On the left relief we see a man, standing on a bench, working
with a kind of millstone. Right above him all
kinds of tools are represented.
The scene looks much like the scene on the façade
of the original burial chamber. Here too we see a man working
behind a millstone.
The scene on the right relief seems to consist of two levels.
On the upper level we see a man behind the counter of his shop,
here too surrounded by tools. We recognize scissors, surgical
equipment,
scalpels, an anvil, saws and sickles.
Beneath him, on a second level, another man is
working.
