TT255

The Theban Tomb TT255 is located in Dra' Abu el-Naga', part of the Theban Necropolis, situated on the west bank of the Nile opposite Luxor. The sepulchre is the burial place of Roy, a royal scribe, and his wife Nebtawy (nicknamed Tawy), who lived at the end of the 18th Dynasty, during the reign of Horemheb. In addition to being a scribe, Roy was an overseer of the estates of both Horemheb and the god Amun.

The tomb is small, consisting of only one chamber with a stele niche and burial shaft, but it is well decorated. It is one of two tombs in Dra' Abu el-Naga' that is open to the public.
