The tomb of Neferronpet is a fine example of a Dynasty XIX nobleman’s tomb. Unfortunately, photography proved difficult so I recorded the inscriptions and their colours in situ. The striking feature of this tomb (and that of Nefersekheru TT.296 - Mon.43) is the bright yellow background. This has necessitated the alteration of all of the canonical yellow signs to green, for them to be at all legible.
