On the front side, a door with locks has been drawn, together with two representations of Behedety, the winged solar disk. On the other sides, the symbols of Osiris and Isis alternate, manifesting their protection over the deceased, and the decoration's funerary character. The upper part ends in a cornice, and over it there is a falcon with the solar disk on its head.
