TT10 ( T heban T omb number 10) is the grave of Penbui and Kasa. It is located in the ancient Egyptian workers' settlement Deir el-Medina (Thebes-West) and dates to the 19th Dynasty ( New Kingdom ).
Penbui and Kasa were related by marriage. They were both foremen in Deir el-Medina. Their grave has been known since the 19th century, but it was not systematically uncovered until 1917 by Lecomte du Nouy. The burial chapel is carved into the rock and is relatively small. It consists of an entrance corridor, the actual chapel and a niche on the back wall. The representations in the chapel are painted, but no longer in good condition. The depiction of King Ramses II , who is shown next to the vizier Paser , is remarkable . The subterranean part of the tomb consists of various burial chambers carved into the rock. Only one of them, the one for Penbui, has been painted, but here again only the ceiling is well preserved.
