TT338
Ancient Egyptian tomb / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
TT338 is the burial place of the ancient Egyptian artist Maya and his wife Tamyt in Deir el-Medina near modern Luxor, Egypt. Maya was titled "outline-draughtsman of Amun" and was active in the late Eighteenth Dynasty. The chapel was probably discovered in the early 1900s. The painted interior depicts the funerary procession and feasts of the deceased; the decoration was detached by the discoverers and is housed today in the Museo Egizio in Turin, Italy.
