Tomb of Sarenput II *31*(Qubbet el Hawa IV):
Sarenput II was Overseer of the Priests of Khnum and during the reign of Dynasty XII (Amenemhet II). This is one of the best preserved tombs of this area. It has a large chamber with six pillars and a gallery flanked by six niches each once containing mummiform statues of the deceased . The four pillars of a second chamber were decorated with images of Sarenput. Beyond this, a chapel cut deep into the rock is plastered and painted in vivid colours and depicts his wife, a Priestess of Hathor and other family members.here is a beautiful niche at the back of the chapel very colourful with hieroglyphs (even an unusual glyph of an elephant). The style of painting and the hieroglyphs are distinctly similar to the Old Kingdom tombs.
