Burial

On 25 January 2011, the upper edge of the shaft of KV64 was discovered and the tomb was excavated and described in 2012 by Dr. Susanne Bickel and Dr. Elina Paulin-Grothe, a team from University of Basel in Switzerland. Her funerary stele and intact coffin containing her wrapped mummy were found sitting on top of a layer of fill at the far end of the chamber. Her coffin is constructed from sycamore wood with acacia pegs and is covered with yellow decoration on a black background.
