The colors of the reliefs in this chapel are excellently preserved. Sethos is depicted offering sacrifices to Amun in his various forms and burning incense before the sacred barques of Amun (decorated with rams' heads), Khons and Mut (decorated with the heads of these deities), which stand in a shrine. On the false door are inscriptions dating from the Greek period. Niche to the right: the King sacrifices to Mut (left), anoints Amun (rear) and offers incense to Khons (right).
