TT277 belongs to Ameneminet
who was a priest in the service of the god Ptah-Sokar
in the Temple of Millions of Years
of king Amenhotep III.
His wife was the “chantress of Amon”
Nefertari.
In the tomb Ameneminet
after the decorated entrance doorway, there is a small room with bright paintings, in which the illustrations seem to spring out from a bluish-white background. The texts are written in colourful hieroglyphs on a yellow background.
Its decoration as seen today features several features of the craftsmanship of the Ramesside period.
For example, proportionality in art that was characteristic of work of the 18th dynasty was no longer respected by the end of the 19th dynasty, a trend that became more pronounced in the 20th dynasty.
It is likely therefore that the Ameneminet burial dates from this time.
