“The statuary group in the niche consists of three male figures seated next to each other on a bench, which extends across the full width. The composition is of the same order of size as the statues found in the transverse chamber.
         The central figure represents a mummiform Osiris, identified by vertical texts on either side him. These read on one side: “Osiris Wennefer, the great god, ruler of eternity” on one side and as “Osiris-Sokar, lord of Shetyt” on the other. Osiris is wearing the atef-crown and probably once held the crook and flail in his hands, which are crossed over his chest. He is flanked on either side by Amenemope, whose images are no less imposing than his, each being only 20 cm smaller. They, too, are identified by texts above them, on the rear wall.”
