The places of the coffin are found in the Louvre Museum in Paris. The cemetery is often called "Bruce's cemetery" in relation to the Ethiopian travellers who first reopened it in 1769 and who made pictures of the two paintings representing the harpists. From these drawings, the second name of the cemetery is "the cemetery of those who play the harp". The workmanship in this cemetery is less good than in previous times, but it is nonetheless eye-catching and the colours are still retaining their lustre. The entrance is visible, which shows the good idea that the royal cemetery has remained with for some time after it became clear that the idea of concealment was useless.
