This is an excellent view of the tomb corridor B in Tomb KV1 which belonged to Ramesses VII, the son of Ramesses VI and grandson of Ramesses III—the last great king of the Egyptian 20th dynasty. Ramesses VII's 7 or 8 year reign was a time of economic crisis with rising grain prices and his tomb was presumably robbed sometime after this king's burial since his mummy has never been found. The decoration on the corridor walls is painted sunk relief, and the ceiling is painted plaster.

On the left (southwest) wall are three scenes. In the first, the king offers incense and libations to a seated figure of Ra-Horakhty-Atum-Khepri before offering stands bearing a sacrificial oryx, bouquets and food. The second scene is the initial scene and first division of the Book of Gates. The third is the Iwnmutef priest purifying the king as Osiris, derived from the Opening of the mouth ceremony. The right (northeast) wall also displays three scenes: the king offering incense and libations to Ptah-Sokar-Osiris; the first division of the Book of Caverns and the Iwnmutef priest purifying the king as Osiris, again from the Opening of the Mouth ritual. A frieze of cartouches flanked by lion-headed uraei alternating with winged scarabs appears on each wall after the first scene. The king's names and epithets also adorn the beginning of the two walls of the corridor. There are graffiti on the walls of this corridor….which prove that Tomb KV1 was already open during during ancient times to visitors such as the Greeks or Romans.
