Peshedu and his Family
He lived during the Ramesside Period and decorated his Tomb keeping his family in his mind, as was the style at the time. His wife Nedjemtebehdet is always shown within the Tomb as wearing the finest of her clothing, her long curly wig, large earrings and with a Perfume Cone on her head; showing how Peshedu always wished to remember her.
This image of the large Udjet eye depicted in the Tomb is of particular note
