Ramesseum - Small Hypostyle Hall

Beyond the Great Hypostyle hall is the first small hypostyle hall, which has eight columns with bud capitals supporting the well preserved roof, adorned with astronomical representations and scenes showing the King in the presence of the gods. The mural reliefs are of some interest. East wall: priests bearing the sacred barques of Amun, Mut and Khons, each decorated with the head of its deity. West wall, north end: the King seated under the sacred tree of Heliopolis, with Atum (left, enthroned) and the goddess Seshat and Thoth (right) inscribing his name on its leaves.

Of the following second small hypostyle hall only the right hand (north) half, with four columns, remains. The representations of offerings on the walls are of little interest.
