Capture of birds with a net

 
Several figures (gods?) with animal heads pull an enormous net in which are taken all sorts of birds. They are preceded by Ramesses II.  The scene continue before Ramesses (to see the next  photo). The birds represent the king's enemies, being captured and prevented to harm.  This magic scene is represented in several temples.
