TT338

Luxor, Egypt

TT338 or chapel of Maya is the burial place of the ancient Egyptian artist Maya and his wife Tamyt in the necropolis of Deir el-Medina near modern Luxor, Egypt. Maya was titled "outline-draughtsman of Amun" and was active in the late Eighteenth Dynasty. The chapel was discovered and excavated in 1905-1906 by the Italian egyptologist Ernesto Schiaparelli, near the Tomb of Kha and Merit. The painted interior depicts the funerary procession and feasts of the deceased; the decoration was detached by the restorer Fabrizio Lucarini in 1906 and is housed today in the Museo Egizio in Turin, Italy.
