Aswan - Tomb of Aku

Beyond the small chamber are the Tomb of Aku (No. 32), with a niche containing a representation of the dead man with his wife and son seated at a meal in an arbor; the Tomb of Khui (sanded up); and the Tomb of Khunes (No. 34; sixth Dynasty), an eight pillared chamber containing fine representations of various craftsmen (bakers, potters, metalworkers beside a furnace, leather workers, etc.). The two last named tombs were later occupied by Coptic monks, who left a variety of inscriptions. From the Tomb of Khunes a flight of steps leads to the Tomb of Setka (First Intermediate Period), with wall paintings, badly damaged but with astonishingly vivid colors, which are among the few surviving examples of the decorative art of this period.
