Tomb

The tomb of Qar lies north of the edge of the Eastern Giza Cemetery, north of the nearby double mastaba of Kawab. The limestone superstructure of the mastaba has entirely disappeared. The rest of the complex, save part of the stairway, was excavated from the rock. Some of the decoration of the stairways were executed in limestone blocks over the natural rock and as many of those blocks have been displaced or broken up many scenes are incomplete.
