The tomb of Paschedu in the cemetery of Deir el-Medina is called TT3 ( Theban Tomb 3) . Only the underground and better painted burial chambers of the grave are preserved. There are only a few remains of the above-ground burial chapel. There is a hog, a passage and a small chamber. Only in the passage are there remains of a painting showing a man. There are three underground chambers. The innermost burial chamber has a vaulted ceiling and is decorated with pictures from the Book of the Dead. The bright colors of the grave are still very well preserved.
