DESCRIPTION – ORIGINAL EXTERIOR MATERIAL (3D Texture)
Title
Stone, mud-brickTexturing was kept minimal due to lack of detailed information on individual tombs. Walls have been textured with a white plaster, while architectural features such as doorways, pylons, and pyramids have been textured with limestone. Tawfik (1991: 407 n. 9) mentioned that the tomb owner’s granite pyramidion now resides in a museum in the UK.

Discussion of virtual reconstruction and interpretative choices
Title
The New Kingdom temple tombs currently being excavated by Cairo University are at the time of this publication largely unpublished; the reconstructed models are therefore based on the ground plan of the area provided by Lacher-Raschdorff (2014: plan 2) and details provided by Tawfik (1991), with 3D aspects (including estimated heights of the superstructures) based on the neighboring New Kingdom tombs of similar superstructure and style at the site, especially those of Horemheb, Tia and Tia, Meryneith, and Maya and Meryt.The tomb of Neferrenpet included a pylon entrance, two peristyle courts, a tripartite cult zone with central chapel (with two side rooms accessed from the main space), two vaulted side chapels, and a “rubble filled pyramid with limestone casing” on the western rear (Tawfik 1991: 407–9).The pyramid as shown has an estimated angle of 60 degrees (based on comparative examples) and an estimated height of 9m (including the plinth).
