Hello C. Wayne,

Another version of the drawing you cite appears in a paper by Mary Anne Murray titled "Cereal Production and Processing", which in turn appears in "Ancient Egyptian Materials and Technology", edited by Paul Nicholson and Ian Shaw. See Figure 21.11 on p. 527.

Murray refers to the scene by saying it presents "a common type of silo ... in which grain was added through a door in the top and removed through a door near the bottom". She does not say what tomb the scene was found in, but references A. Badawy History of Egyptian Architecture I (1954). However, in the same article (Figure 21.7) Murray provides a reproduction of a wall painting from the Tomb of Paheri at El Kab (EK3) which contains a panel that is quite similar to the drawing, and perhaps this is its provenance.

Best,

Lee Cooper
