The Tomb of Shuroy
by John Watson

Exterior of the Tomb of Shuroy
Tomb TT13, a small, T-shaped, two chambered structure on the West Bank at Luxor belongs to Shuroy, and his wife, Wernefer. It is located at Dra Abu el-Naga. He was the Head of the Brazier Bearers in the Temple of Amun at Karnak sometime during the 19th Dynasty, while his wife was a chantress of Amun. His tomb is characterized by scenes that are rapidly drawn, sometimes only in red ink outlines. They usually lack details. The coloration is soft, almost pastels, applied to a light grey or white background, with the heavy use of blue.
