The tomb was discovered in 1898 by Victor Loret. It is an undecorated tomb and runs back some 40 metres into the mountainside with a burial chamber (6.24 x 8.56 x 4.01 m) at the end.[1] A portion of it was penetrated by workmen digging the original burial chamber in the tomb of Siptah KV47.
KV32 has been fully cleared, excavated and published by a team from the University of Basel's MISR Project. The finds in the tomb include hundreds of fragments of a canopic chest and fragments of lids with a human head for covering the potholes that contained the entrails of the queen. Other finds include shabtis and shabti miniature coffins with the name of the queen.[2] Vases with the name of the mayor of Thebes, Sennefer and those of his wife Sentnay were also found.[3]
