Two seated double statues of Amun and Mut are on the south side, and there is also a grand statue of Amenhotep III with his wife within the colonnade.
Here, the figure of Amenhotep III alternates with those of his successors on door-jambs and columns. Actually, Horemheb usurped many of the decorations that were completed during the reign of Tutankhamun, so that the latter's name shows up only intermittently under that of Horemheb. However, the scenes within the colonnade on the walls are some of the best sources available for the study of the Opet Festival, one of the most important religious ceremonies during the New Kingdom.
