The tomb has been known since ancient times and boasts wonderful decorations, including colorful painted sunken reliefs featuring traditional ritual texts such as the Litany of Ra and Book of Gates, as well as depictions of Ramses before the gods. Unique to this tomb is the secular scenes found in the small side rooms of the entrance corridor, showcasing foreign tributes such as highly detailed pottery imported from the Aegean, the royal armory, boats, and even blind harpists in the last of these side chambers, which gave the tomb one of its alternative names: the ‘Tomb of the Harpers’.
