The Theban Tomb TT36 is located in El-Assasif, part of the Theban Necropolis, on the west bank of the Nile, opposite to Luxor. [2] It is the burial place of the ancient Egyptian Ibi, who was "Chief Steward of the Adorer of the God" (Nitoqret I), during the reign of Psamtik I during the 26th dynasty. [3]
The tomb decoration in this tomb was copied from the tomb of another noble called Ibi, from the Old Kingdom cemetery at Deir el-Gabrawi. This is typical of the Saite Period, which tended to echo the decoration of previous periods of Egyptian history.
The tomb is entered via a flight of steps that run parallel to the main axis. At the foot of these steps is an antechamber, which is decorated with scenes of Ibi adoring Ra-Horakhty. There is also a false door, echoing Old Kingdom decoration. A doorway leads from the middle of the right hand wall into what was a pillared hall (these pillars have since been destroyed). This room shows Ibi dressed as an ancient noble, watching the work of craftsmen and dancing girls. [2]
The right-hand wall has a doorway that leads into what was once an open court. This is decorated on the right-hand wall with a hunting scene, and on the left-hand wall Ibi and his father sit whilst offerings are placed in tables in front of them. From this hall several chambers lead off, one to the burial-shaft. These chambers have Ptolemaic paintings, and show that the tomb was reused at this time.
