Fishing, fowling, and hunting were practiced widely by ancient Egyptians in the New Kingdom and were commonly represented in their tombs, as both professions and sports.
A nobleman was often shown armed with bow and arrows, accompanied by attendants and by hounds to capture living animals in a netted stockade. Boomerang fowling was commonly depicted in connection with spear fishing, pursued only by the tomb owner and accompanied by his family and attendants. Scenes depicting the harpooning of a hippopotamus were always shown as part of a larger composition depicting the tomb owner fishing and fowling. Fishing as a profession involved the use of large nets, while fowlers used a clap-nets to catch waterfowl.
