Sarenput II, who lived in the reign of the 12th
dynasty pharaoh Amenemhat
II, is the grandson of Sarenput I (also has his tomb
nearby). His tomb is the best preserved in Qubbet
Al-Hawa.
The entrance opens into a six-pillared hall followed by a
corridor with side niches
that contain Osiride statues of Sarenput. The corridor leads
to the 4-pillared chapel. Sarenput is painted here repeatedly
in the presence of his sons, wife and mother in family scenes.
The niche at the back wall of the chapel has interesting colorful
scene. (See Image 2)
