It is unknown whether he was the same person as the Vizier Ramose whose Theban tomb is TT55, but it seems unlikely because they have different titles and the names of their wives do not agree.[2]
The tomb is small and the main body is undecorated. The entrance doorway shows Ramose being rewarded by the 18th Dynasty Pharaoh Akhenaten, together with scenes showing Nefertiti and Meritaten.[2] In the shrine a double statue showing Ramose and his sister Nebetiunet was carved out of the rock, then plastered.
