Contrary to the other chapels , the panels of the  Atum chapel are gorgeously colored . Bottom scenes : One can notice the alternation between Amun on a base plate and Amun free of his movements. The pharaoh coats him with ointment.  You can click on two parts of the bottom picture to enlarge the scene and to have some details on salad, supposed to maintain the god's strengths. Top scenes : in a very colorful scene, the pharaoh censes the god's boat. (while clicking, you will have some details on this scene with again very good colors). To the prow, the ram of Amun. Behind the boat of Amun, the boats of Mut below and of Khonsou in top, wife and son of Amun, forming with him the Theban triad. The colorful plastered part is missing on the boat of Khonsou, but it is possible to see the drawing that is under (rough layout of the drawers?). A scene with the boat of Amun, but slightly different is on the next panel. Here, notice the different symbols ankh, djed and others that carry the pavois under the boat (details while clicking on the picture)
