Description
Beyond the Tomb of Prince Sarenput II is a corridor with three niches on either side, each containing a rock cut statue of the dead man in the guise of the Osiris mummy. To the left of the first niche is a figure of the dead man and his son, the colors of which are excellently preserved. The corridor leads into a small chamber with four pillars, on each of which there are figures of the dead man; on some of them can be seen the grid of lines used by the artist in setting out his picture. In the rear wall of this chamber is a niche containing finely executed reliefs: the dead man at table, with his son in front of him carrying flowers (rear); the dead man standing on the right, with his mother at table on the left (right hand wall); the dead man with his son behind him and his wife in front of him (left hand wall).
