Horemheb before various deities

The upper part of the wall is decorated with an elaborate kheker frieze featuring two yellow discs, probably to be interpreted as sun discs. Below is an ornamental band coloured blue, red, green, yellow, black and white, below which is a band decorated with stars on a dark blue background to represent the sky. From left to right: Horemheb (now missing) stands in front of Osiris, Anubis and Horus. Osiris with green skin is dressed in white with an atef crown and sits on a throne with the symbol of the union between Upper and Lower Egypt. Behind him Anubis with a jackal head and blue wig wears a white and gold skirt and blue tunic while Horus, with a falcon head and crown of Upper and Lower Egypt wears a blue tunic. Below Horemheb wears the nemes with uraeus and a broad collar. His kilt, white and gold, is richly decorated with a triangular front, a red, blue and gold belt ending with an elaborate decoration showing two golden ureos with a sun disc. He stands in front of a mummified Osiris dressed in white with an Atef crown and distinguished with power. The king offers Hathor wine and this time she is wearing a simple golden skirt. Hathor has a sun disk and bovine horns. She wears a white dress with braces and a black and blue striped wig. She holds the sceptre was and the ankh. Isis wears a red-purple dress with a rosette design and thin straps that leave her breasts bare. Around her neck is a large pearl necklace. On her head she wears her emblem. The base of the relief is blue paint.
