South-east wall :  In front, a servant carries on his shoulder a  king statue of Ramesses II. The king offers himself to himself. Before the statue, a priest censes it. Then  a  priest notes the offerings.  Carriers of breads, cooked cakes, vases of beer and wine compose the cortege (Mariette, 1880). The continuation of the procession is shown below.

 

The procession continues in top of the wall.  In the vases of the first carriers, beer. Then wines of different sorts. Separated by a vertical inscription, a second procession is also welcomed by priestsBehind a slightly squatting character, one guesses a leg on a tray, remain of another statue. Underneath, the inscriptions of Ramesses IV.
