- Felice Beato made several views of this temple complex, showing stone doorways and walls, stelae, a stone altar set, and the tomb itself (Harris, pp. 97-99, cat. nos. 52-54). - This photograph, taken in the inner section of the tomb complex, shows an altar set comprising two stone altars: one supporting the five stone vessels visible in the foreground, and a second altar, of uncertain purpose, surmounted by at least two carved stone "pineapples", visible behind (Paludan, p. 187; p. 189, fig. 200). The dome-like tomb itself is just visible in the background, behind a candlestick, at c.l.
