temple room
Room B is located in the northern part of the temple and has a direct connection with room A. It measures 551.25cm in length and 210.0cm in width.[1] According to Felix Arnold, two window slots were installed in the flat roof of the room.[2] The entrance to room B has a typical shape with two distinguished door jambs, although preserved fragments are not sufficient to reconstruct the way of its opening.[3]
The decoration of the room was prepared in raised relief and finished with the cryptographic frieze of Hatshepsut.[4]
