Cemetery of Deir el-Medina - Tomb of Peshedu 
Farther south from the Tomb of Kha is No. 3, the Tomb of Peshedu (Ramessid period).
A steep flight of steps leads down to a number of outer chambers, from which a low vaulted passage (on the right and left, representations of a chapel with the Anubis jackal lying beside it) leads into the tomb chamber. Right hand entrance wall: the dead man lying in prayer under a palm.
