The rock-cut tomb consists of three rooms, one opening from the other, with a limestone door frame in the second passage, and a burial shaft opening from the third room. Unfortunately, the wall decoration is not accessible in several parts of the tomb because of later masonry built up in front of the walls to stabilize the structure of the tomb, which would have had to have been removed to gain access to the walls. Furthermore, the walls of the first room are severely damaged due to the infiltration of water over the years." The limestone door frame leading to the third room provides information on the owner of the tomb: some titles and the name of Seth can be read on the lintel and the doorjambs.™ In the third room, remains of engraved and painted wall decoration depict the seated tomb owner, identified by his name and, receiving an offering from a man standing before him.” 7 Zivie, 1998, 179. 55 For a general overview of the tomb and the stele, Zivie, 1997; Zivie, 1998, 36-37. 19 Zivie, 1997, 378-379; Zivie, 1998, 37; Zivie, 2000, 179. ”° Zivie, 1997, 375; Zivie, 1998, 36-37. * Zivie, 1997, 375. 22 Zivie, 1997, 376.
