Aswan - Tomb of Sabni I

Immediately adjoining No. 25 is No. 26, the Tomb of Sabni I, Mekhu's son. This has an unusual type of doorway, divided into two parts by a cross beam; in front of it are two small obelisks and a sacrificial basin. The chamber is divided into three aisles by 14 square pillars. On the rear wall the dead man is depicted with his daughters in a boat, hunting in the marshes: on the left he holds a throwing stick in one hand and the slain birds in the other; on the right he is catching two fish with his harpoon; in the middle birds are flying over a papyrus thicket.
