↑ CHAMBER G (CONTINUED). https://www.osirisnet.net. "Scene XVIII...The deceased and his wife sit facing the east listening to the song of a harpist crouched down in front of them...The harpist is an obese man, with a shaven head, with a pierced earlobe, squatting on a mat. The body is shown in full profile according to the conventions of the Ramesside period. He is not blind, as almost always portrayed. His mouth is open because he sings while accompanying himself on the harp...The number of strings (22) and keys (36) are a mismatch"
