The Theban Tomb TT56 is located in Sheikh Abd el-Qurna, part of the Theban Necropolis, on the west bank of the Nile, opposite to Luxor.[2] It is the burial place of the Ancient Egyptian official, Userhat who was the Royal Scribe, Child of the Royal Nursery, during the 18th dynasty king Amenhotep II, and his wife Mutnefret. TT56 is one of best preserved Theban nobility tombs from Western Thebes and its reliefs boast many vivid and brightly painted scenes depicting the deceased Userhat and Mutnefret receiving gifts and presents in the afterlife.
