He was buried in a tomb of modest size, TT36, located in the El-Assasif district of the Theban Necropolis, opposite Luxor, in Egypt.^[3] It is quite atypical that both the outer and inner sarcophagi were human-shaped and made of stone.^[4] The lid of his inner sarcophagus, the only completely preserved part, is exhibited in the Museo Egizio of Turin, Italy.^[5]
