Even so, it is clear that the original tomb plan owed much to that of Horemheb (KV 57). This is especially clear in its decorative style and the use of grayish-blue as the  background color for scenes and texts. Some believe that the same artists were responsible for both tombs. Only burial chamber J and a small niche beyond (side chamber J B) were decorated.

On the left wall of the BURIAL CHAMBER, the fourth hour of the Book of Gates begins with a representation of the gate in the left corner, protected by a vertically drawn snake. The solar bark is towed toward nine shrines in which nine mummies lie, awaiting resurrection by the sun god. Below, a huge multicoiled snake represents the passage of time, watched over by twelve goddesses who represent the twelve hours of the night. A single register on the rear wall includes nicely painted figures of AtumRa-Khepri—a human god with the head of a scarab beetle—and Osiris, seated on thrones that face in opposite directions. A Iwnmutef priest stands before Osiris, preparing toreceive Rameses I, who is being led before the god by Horus, Atum, and Neith. Atum-Ra-Khepri receives another figure of Rameses I, very finely dressed, who presents the god with four caskets of cloth. To the right, above the entrance to side chamber J B, a kneeling figure of Rameses I is joined by the Souls of Pe (Buto) and Nekhen (Hierakonpolis) in adoration of Osiris.

A well-drawn bark carrying a ram-headed figure of the sun god is painted on the right wall against a white background. The shrine in which he stands is protected by a snake called Mehen, and by the gods Sia and Heqa. The scene comes from the third hour of the Book of Gates. The bark is about to travel  through the long tube-like feature at left. In the register below, the evil snake Apophis poses a potential threat to the sun god but is restrained by Atum and nine other deities. On the front wall, the goddess Ma’at greets the king as he enters his tomb. Behind her, the king stands with the gods Ptah and lotus-crowned Nefertum. The red granite sarcophagus was painted red. Yellow figures with their details in black are of  the Four Sons of Horus, Anubis, Thoth, Isis, and Nephthys. There is a lovely scene in the small niche in the rear wall of the chamber showing Osiris standing in a shrine, his feet on a snake, protected by Anubis and the uraeus-cobra.
