"The top of the box is divided into thirty squares arranged in three parallet rows of ten squares each in the typical arrangement for the Egyptiana game Senet. The box was originally inlaid on all sides with faience tiles. The wood of the original, badly decayed, has been restored in this example." (From info card)
