Six chairs in all were found in the tomb. This one is now in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. Its state of preservation is fairly good; inside the tomb it stood in the chamber usually called the Antechamber, beneath one of the ceremonial beds, the Lioness Bed, together with several other objects.

It is a fine example of how ordinary chairs were made in ancient Egypt: a slightly curved back, tilted backwards, is supported by three vertical slats, while the seat is made of five carved slats fixed to the frame with mortise-and-tenon joints
