Remains of four models, a boat, a granary, a bakery, and a group of soldiers, werefound. Of this last model, which must have been like the famous military models from Meir in the Cairo Museum, two figures of black soldiers with shield and spear, and several loose shields were recovered. The shields represent the usual wooden shields of the period, covered with black-and-white ox-hide.
Two important objects from this tomb, which have been brought back and are now in the British Museum and the Edinburgh Museum respectively, are tall figures of female slaves, carrying baskets on their heads
