The relief representations of the Gebel el-Arak knife-handle are investigated according to the general shape of the relief surface, their frieze arrangement and their overall compositional structure. Hence, on formal reasons alone four different relief sections can be determined. Finally, questions are raised as to what degree the relief sections also form conceptual units and whether or not there is a rigidly fixed direction of reading the reliefs
