A short distance farther on from the Tomb of Amenemhet is No. 335, the Tomb of Nekht-Amun, a sculptor. A steep staircase descends to an upper chamber, off which is a small side chamber with fine paintings (the dead man worshiping his protective god Thoth, etc.). From here another flight of steps runs down to a lower chamber with vigorously painted family scenes; on the right-hand end wall, Anubis at the bier. At the same level on the hillside, farther south, are Nos 4 and 9, the tombs of a sculptor named Ken and an official of the necropolis named Amenmose (both of the Ramessid period), with reliefs in a fair state of preservation.
