Tt96, Ancient tomb in Sheikh Abd el-Qurna necropolis, Egypt.

The burial chamber of TT96 contains detailed wall paintings that illustrate funeral processions, offerings, and scenes from the Egyptian afterlife passage.

The painted decorations inside the tomb demonstrate Egyptian beliefs about death, featuring ceremonies such as the opening of the mouth ritual.
