Report on a renewed study of the pillared rock-cut tomb of Setka at Qubbet el-Hawa (No. 110), suggested to date to the very late OK or early FIP. With regard to the architecture it is worth noting that the symmetry and balance of the basic plan was upset by the extension of the hall at its northern end and by the addition of other architectural elements. The decoration is described, which is especially interesting for the representations of Nubians, among whom bowmen in their special costume, and for the artistic quality with which men (priests?) advancing towards a standing couple are depicted.
