The decorations are more refined then in earlier tombs, with figures having larger ears and smaller mouths. This tomb marks the first time that decorations cover every passage and chamber. The decorative style established in this tomb is followed fully or in part by every succeeding tomb through the rest of the valleys history. The structure of the tomb is very complex, and there is a clear division of the upper section of the tomb and the lower section.
