In the middle are offerings shown and on the left there appear several people bringing and preparing offerings.[2] On the southern wall, he is show alone with granaries in front of him in two rows of musicians.[3] On the same wall two ships are shown.[4] Near the tomb were discovered two stelae showing Unasankh and listing many of his titles.[5]
