The antelopes are shown in their desert habitat. The two animals whose heads are preserved are feeding on a plant with spiky leaves. The animals are eating quite calmly, so it is unlikely that they are part of a hunting scene. The three antelopes in the upper group seem to be rearing up on their honches; the front hooves of two of them are visible in the upper right. It is possible that these antelopes were part of a scene depicting sunrise. Two representations in the royal tomb at Amarna show wild animals greeting the rising sun outside the temple where the king and his family are performing the morning ritual. A similar image from a temple of this period has been found at Thebes. The size of the animals on this relief suggests that the scene would have been monumental in scale and prominent in the structure that it decorated.
