Tomb of Mereruka

  stela or false door, in  limestone . 

The upper portion is almost entirely destroyed. On the usual display area, in the middle, can be seen the deceased seated in front of a table of offerings

, on top of which is the usual display of many upright half-loaves. Below the table are two vessels on top of a box. On the lower lintel, beneath the small scene, are several of his titles and his name "Meri", written on two lines of text. Below this, and extending across the width of the inner door section, is a cylindrical drum contains just his title of "Sole companion" and again just "Meri".

Three long texts (the inner two are of two columns each, the outer is of three columns), located at either side of the central narrow door, list many of his titles, each side enumerated in the same way

. many of the titles are repeated; each set ending with both of his names. At the bottom of each set of text lines is the standing figure of Mereruka, facing inwards, towards the actual door section.
Down each side of the stela are superimposed seven sets of vessels containing the seven sacred unguents. Each set stands on a table.
In front of the stele was placed, in antiquity, an offering table in the shape of a hetep-sign. This has not been found; only the depressed block in which it would have rested now exists.

Although, from its location, away from the normal route to the main chamber of the complex, and the fact that this chamber does not contain the burial shaft, this false door is far superior to the one in chamber A11.

The north wall :

Like the south wall, it originally had reliefs representing long lines of servants heading west, carrying offerings towards the seated Mereruka and his wife.

The couple, and the table in front of them, are the only remains of any registers above the bottom one

. However, here nearly all of the image of Mereruka has survived, including some of his titles and part of the tabular list of offerings which is located over the table. This enumerates nourishments and perfumes. Mereruka stretches out his hand towards the table of offerings covered with a vertical stack of eighteen half-loaves. Directly in front of the leg of the table is a single crate containing a variety of vessels. Beyond this is a pile of offerings.

Again, the whole length of the bottom register has survived; but only to its full height at the western end. As on the south wall, six men carrying thighs of oxen lead the parade. Unlike the south wall, their names are given and they are the names of relatives. In the middle of the parade, porters (like those of the south wall) have a variety of goods in containers, carry a various birds and are accompanied by livestock

). A descriptive text band is located above the characters, but only the western end still exists. From what does still exist, it can be seen that it would have been a duplicate of that found on the south wall.

The east wall :

The bas-reliefs of this wall are nearly completely destroyed. All that remains is a fraction of a butchery scene at its south end
