Aerial view of the Memphite tombs at Saqqara. The drawing is in landscape format. It is organized within a frame drawn in ink. Inscriptions and traces of watercolor and graphite are visible in the margins. Inscriptions appear on the reverse.
The drawing shows the tombs of Horemet on the left, Tia and her husband Tia in the center, and Maya and his wife Meryt on the right. The tombs follow a similar plan, with courtyards, a hall housing the statue and the pyramid enclosing the offering room.
