The necropolis is located west of Alexandria
in the Wardian district. The tomb is dated to the 2nd
century BC and was built for a rich man in Alexandria
during the Roman era. The decoration of the tomb is
influenced by the ancient Egyptian motifs of funerary
art. In the tomb is a mural of a mummified corpse that
was laid on a bier and a figure of two mourners connected
with the goddesses Nephthys
and Isis. On the top of the bier
is the winged sun-disk.
