It is the burial place of Meryptah, the royal scribe of the table of the Lord of the Two Lands[1], and the Governor of the Desert Lands for the Southern Deserts. His wife is a Lady of the House and a Chantress of Amun. Her name is Nebkhentu. [2]
The tomb consists of a set of stairs leading to a court. This court was decorated with Osiride Royal statues, a statue of Osiris and of a Hathor-cow protecting the King.[1] A second set of stairs leads to a Hall. The walls are decorated with scenes from the Book of Gates, offering scenes, and a scene with a tree goddess.[1]
