This scene is from the side of a chest, made of wood covered in a layer of plaster, which is painted with incredibly detailed scenes of Tutankhamun - either hunting wild animals or in battle.

In this scene the king is leading his army into battle. He is shown standing in his chariot, ready to fire his arrows into his enemies, who lie in disorder at his horse's feet.
