Cemetery of Deir el-Medina - Tombs of Khonsu and Khabekhnet

Higher up are Nos. 2 and 2B, the Tombs of Khonsu and Khabekhnet, sons of Sennutem (No. 1). In No. 2B a steep flight of steps leads down to the chamber, on the left hand wall of which is a curious scene showing Anubis at the bier of Osiris, who is represented as a fish. No. 2 is of no interest. To the north is No. 250, the Tomb of Neforhotep and his wife Mutemuia (Ramessid period), with well preserved paintings.
