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. Right hand wall: above, a small figure of the dead man praying to Osiris and other gods of the dead; below, the dead man and his small daughter before Re-Harakhty, Atum, Khepri, Ptah and the sacred Osiris pillar. Against the rear wall stood the sarcophagus, constructed of limestone masonry; above, Osiris and the Hill of the Dead. Left hand wall, continuing on the left hand entrance wall: above, Osiris and his associated deities; below, texts from the "Book of the Dead"; the dead man and his family, headed by his white haired father, worshiping the Horus falcon.
