A systematic publication of the tomb of Paser, one of the most important officials of the early Ramessid period, has been anticipated for the past fifty years but has not yet taken place. The nineteen squeezes made, or acquired, in Egypt in 1854-5 by the Revd. Henry Stobart (1824-1895) may, therefore, contain details which no longer exist in situ.
All the descriptions and the plan have been taken from B. Porter, R. L. B. Moss and E. W. Burney, Topographical Bibliography of Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphic Texts, Reliefs, and Paintings, i Part 1 (Oxford, 1960). Because the coverage of reliefs in the tomb is far from complete, only descriptions of the relevant scenes are given here.
