Djehuty; Djehutyemheb; TT45; TT 45; Theban tomb; Luxor; Gurnah; tomb of Egypt (1)

From those lovely people at Osirisnet

The tomb TT45 was carved at Sheikh Abd el-Gurnah during the period of
Amenhotep II for Djehuty, an official of modest rank. Djehutyemheb
“recuperated” for his personal usage the funerary monument around two centuries
later. Since there were no family ties unifying these two individuals, one may
suppose that, besides their names being related to the god Thot, it is their
role as responsible of the linen in the temple of Amun that provides the reason
for the re-usage of the tomb. Djehutyemheb demonstrates great restraint and
respect towards the previous decorations featured in the tomb of Djehuty. The
result is a mixed style between the early 18th dynasty and the Ramesside
period.
