I noticed that this papyrus has been decaying rapidly over the last 50 to 60 years. The Luxor Museum told me (12-2021) to investigate this as soon as possible. For the study of text and drawings it is best to use the panorama shown below compiled of the early 20th century photos of Prof. Dr. Siegfried Schott (1897-1971), now in the Schott-Archiv, Universitaet Trier, Aegyptologie.
