It is composed of a freestanding temple, complete with an entrance, a colonnaded courtyard, a passage leading to underground burial chambers, and three chapels. Inside, archaeologists found images of Panehsy and his wife Baia taking part in religious rituals. In one stone relief, the deceased couple is depicted seated at an offering table across a priest, which hieroglyphic text identifies as Piay, with a leopard skin draped around his shoulders.
