El-Asasif Valley - Tomb of Ebe

Of interest is the Tomb of Ebe (No. 36), an official in the service of Nitocris, which has reliefs imitating Old Kingdom models. A flight of steps leads down to an antechamber, in which the dead man is depicted sitting at the offering table receiving votive gifts. In a room on the right are fine reliefs of craftsmen at work and dancers. Beyond the antechamber is what was originally an open court with colonnades along the sides (mural reliefs of offerings and a fine hunting scene). Adjoining is a colonnade leading to other chambers.
