The chapel belongs to the smallest in the Theban necropolis but is decorated with paintings of highest quality, many of them today badly damaged. The volume includes old archive photographs and drawings by S. Schott and Davies. Together with new drawings and photographs they provide a full picture of a small Theban tomb chapel datable to the reign of Thutmosis IV.
