At the top from left to right: How many sticks (there are 3 depicted, but how many does the inscription say there are)? How many shields? How many arrow holders?
At the bottom from left to right: How many whips? How many daggers? How many Khepesh (sickle) swords?
2. In this scene we see someone weighing cattle against (gold?) rings. How many rings are there according to the inscription? How many cattle?
