The Theban Tomb TT138 is located in Sheikh Abd el-Qurna, part of the Theban Necropolis, on the west bank of the Nile, opposite to Luxor.

The tomb belongs to a 19th Dynasty ancient Egyptian named Nedjemger, who was Overseer of the garden in the Ramesseum in the estate of Amun during the reign of Ramesses II. Nedjemger's wife was named Nausha (or Nesha).[1] Nausha(at) is a chantress of Amun-re, King of the Gods.[2]

In the hall we see:
