Tomb KV19, located in a side branch of Egypt's Valley of the Kings, was intended as the burial place of Prince Ramesses Sethherkhepshef, better known as Pharaoh Ramesses VIII, but was later used for the burial of Prince Mentuherkhepshef, the son of Ramesses IX, who died during the reign of Ramesses X.

The first corridor was still incomplete when work was abandoned, and the tomb used 'as is'. The decoration shows the tomb owner being escorted by his father and presented to several deities, including Osiris, Khonsu, Thoth and Ptah. What decoration there is remaining in this corridor is of the highest quality.
