The Theban Tomb TT311 (MMA 508) is located in Deir el-Bahari, part of the Theban Necropolis, on the west bank of the Nile, opposite to Luxor. The tomb belongs to the Seal-bearer of the King of Lower Egypt named Kheti.

The tomb was excavated by Winlock during the 1923 excavations on behalf of the Metropolitan Museum of Arts.[1] Kheti had a tomb near the funerary temple of king Mentuhotep II.[2] The tomb was found heavily destroyed but there are still many remains of reliefs showing that it was once decorated. The burial chamber was better preserved and was also decorated.[3]
