TT410

The Theban Tomb TT410 is located in El-Assasif, part of the Theban Necropolis, on the west bank of the Nile, opposite to Luxor. The tomb belongs to Mutirdis, the chief companion lady of the God's Wife of Amun during the time of Nitocris I, and Psamtik I of the 26th Dynasty. The tomb is located at El-Assasif, the area of the royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings. The nearby monumental tombs of the Late Period have been noted for their special features.

At the western side of the burial chamber, the decorated ceiling features the painting of Nut from the Book of Nut. The head of Nut is located at the entrance of the tomb from the west. Due to the collapse of the ceiling, the Nut painting is heavily damaged. The eastern part of the ceiling has the representation of the Book of the Night, which is also aligned in a westerly direction to the entrance.
