Title
The tomb was unpublished, so there is little information on its original appearance or preserved brick work. Exterior niching size and spacing based on the description and plan published in Reisner (1936: 66, fig. 48) based on Firth’s unpublished notes; the model height was estimated based on the footprint size.
