Ti Watching a Hippopotamus Hunt,
Tomb of Ti, Fifth Dynasty, Old Kingdom Egypt, c. 2450 - 2325
BCE.
Ti was a commoner, but a very rich commoner since he was able to build a large tomb for himself that contained this wonderful painting/
sculpture. Ti is the large figure standing on the boat with all of the "river creatures" depicted below and the "land creatures"
among the papyrus on the shore.

I have always believed that commoners lead much more interesting lives than royalty. Your post confirms this beautifully.
