Description
Excerpt from The Rock Tombs of El Amarna, Vol. 2: The Tombs of Panehesy and Meryra II
The interior shows hurried preparation, directed primarily to the provision of a burial vault. The transverse gallery of which it was to consist has not been given its full height or finished at the N. End. The mouth of the burial shaft is cut in a mastaba of rock, and at the depth of only a few feet admits to a little cham ber on the east. Two little niches for lamps in the W. Wall are relics of the domestic use to which this and all the other tombs were put in later days.
