TOMB 42 (continuation)Tek


The upper floor can be reached by a staircase against the outer wall of the lower burial chamber.
The staircase consists of eight travertine steps and turns halfway 90 degrees to the right.
At the top first you enter a walled-in, open space in front of the actual burial chamber.
This space was probably used as a solarium (see tomb 29).
The solarium has a black-and-white mosaic floor with geometrical motifs.
