Inherkau, his wife and grandchildren receive offers.

Familiar scene on the right wall of the Inherkau burial chamber. The deceased couple sit on a chair with theriomorphic lion-like legs and wear long pleated robes. Inherkau's wife, Uab, embraces her husband. The couple is surrounded by four grandchildren, very young in age, as indicated by their nudity and the curl of their hair, otherwise gathered in three braids; the little girls wear earrings and necklaces. In their hands they hold birds or turtle doves, symbols of life. The couple stretches out their hands over them in a protective attitude while bearers of gifts approach on the right: the first holds a statuette of Osiris and a small container of ushabti, the second carries a hes vase for libations.
