A new mosque has been built near the mastaba to accommodate visitors during praying time. |
At the time of the Joint Mission, two large foundations for a building planned to be added to the mastaba were being dug. |
It consists of a mastaba and a grave that is severely damaged and the top tomb stone is fragmented. |
Who could it be other than the grain merchant sitting cross-legged on his bench above the shop's mastaba? |
A different arrangement had therefore to be devised from that adopted in the case of the mastaba. |
It might also evoke architectural associations, most explicitly an ancient Egyptian mastaba. |
