In addition to the inscriptions and statues, there are three lines of hieroglyphic writing that refer to the names and titles of the author of "Taha", nicknamed "the priest of royal cleansing" And "Inspector of the Temple of King Nefer Air Ka Ra".
On the walls of the cemetery were many colored inscriptions bearing the name of the wife of the owner of the cemetery (and the tomb of Pettah), and many of the scenes depicting the owner of the cemetery with his mother (Meryt Men) and his family of his wife and children, and the scenes of the concert, pottery, and scenes of offering sacrifices, Sailing, making funerary furniture, hunting birds, and making statues, as well as texts from the cemetery's autobiography.
