Ramose was a governor of Thebes during the reigns of Amenhotep II and Akenaton. The tomb was never finished because Ramose may have followed Akenaton to his new capital at Tell al-Amarna. The artwork however is considered to be of an exceptional standard and begins to show the transition to the more realistic style which is associated with Akenaton's new religion at Amarna. We wonder, however, where Ramose was finally buried. Was he able to build himself a new tomb in Akenaton's city?

In this detail of the relief we see every curl on a wig and every bead of a necklace. This amazing piece of work is considered a masterpiece of ancient art for the delicacy and detail of its carving.

These scenes are not carved but painted and show the funerary procession. The sarcophagus of Ramose is accompanied by his colleagues. At the far left the canopic jars bearing his internal organs are shown.

In this enlargement of the picture above, we see women weeping for Ramose as they raise their hands in a gesture which indicates they are scattering dust on their heads as a sign of grief.
