Known as the Tomb of the Carved Pillars, the tomb consists of the antechamber and the rectangular chamber. This has two pillars carved out of the rock in the middle, which are decorated with a series of V-elements in a herringbone pattern . The ceiling forms a gable roof with the roof beam, which rests on the pillars. The door is decorated with a row of double bull horns. On the wall opposite the entrance is the outline of a false door .
