Aswan - Tomb of a Hekaib

To the right of tombs 25 and 26 the path continues up past two tombs buried in sand (Nos. 27 and 29) to Tomb 30, belonging to one Hekaib (Middle Kingdom). The chamber, divided into three aisles by six pillars, has a barrel vaulted roof. In the rear wall is a niche with the figures of two men and a papyrus plant, symbolizing the life force.
