Sarcofago di Horemheb: Selkis, Nephthys, Imseti, Anubis e Duamutef.

The sarcophagus is located in the burial chamber. It is carved in red granite and decorated with reliefs. Along the corners of the coffin is ornamented with an Egyptian frame. The lid is vaulted with rectangular finials. The long sides feature a winged goddess at each corner in high relief with arms and wings outstretched towards the centre of the long side and the short side, where it intersects with the wing of the other deity. They are Isis, Neith, Neftis and Selkis all identified by their emblems placed on their heads. The long sides present three deities, one in the centre and the other two on the sides partially covered by the wings. They are Hapy, Anubis and Qebehsenuef (north side) and Imseti, Anubis and Duamutef (south side). Thus, the four sons of Horus are placed at the corners of the deceased. The lid presents only text. Here Selkis and Neftis are seen at the sides, Imseti, Anubis and Duamutef in the centre.
