Since 2003, the Egyptian-German joint mission "The Asyut Project" has been conducting archaeological fieldwork on Gebel Asyut al-gharbi in the necropoleis of the ancient city of Asyut in Middle Egypt. The epigraphic survey of the inscriptions and decoration in the Assiuti tombs of the late First Intermediate Period and the 12th Dynasty was part of the project "The ancient Egyptian necropolis at Asyut - documentation and interpretation" financed by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The present study compiles the texts and paintings from Tomb M12.3 (c. 1800 BCE) as facsimiles and photos. Tomb owner was Kha-kau-re-seneb, a higher official who served the nomarch. A translation of the texts and an interpretation of the paintings give insight into one of the rare larger rock-cut tombs outside of the royal residence during the late 12th Dynasty.
