Der Gang ist dekoriert und die Grabkammer hat vier Pfeiler. Howard Carter erforschte es 1903 und 1904. In der Kammer gibt es 59 Wanddekorationen. Sie wurden 1889 von Eugène Lefébure abgezeichnet.[2]

Wall reliefs from KV15 Seti II’s tomb.jpg
(c) Tobeytravels, CC BY-SA 2.0

Wall reliefs from the burial chamber of Tomb KV15, the unfinished Tomb of the 19th Dynasty king Seti II. While Seti II nominally had a reign of 6 years, he lost control of Upper Egypt and the Valley of the Kings to a rival king there named Amenmesse who was most likely one of the innumerable sons or grandsons of Ramesses II. This situation reflects the succession crisis which gripped late 19th Dynasty Egypt given the fact that Ramesses II lived into his 90’s but fathered so many sons who could pose as future rival contenders to the throne.

Seti II himself was the son of Merneptah who succeeded Ramesses II but Merneptah himself was only the thirteenth son of Ramesses II. After defeating Amenmesse’s bid for the throne, Seti II had less than 2 years to complete his royal tomb--which reflects its incomplete state.

The Goddess Maat in Seti II’s KV15 Tomb.jpg

A Winged Maat Wall relief in Tomb KV15, the unfinished Tomb of the 19th Dynasty king Seti II. The Egyptian Goddess Maat epitomised the concepts of Ancient Egyptian concepts of truth, balance, order, harmony, law, morality, and justice. Seti II was the son of Merneptah who succeeded Ramesses II. After defeating a rival king named Amenmesse's bid for the throne in Upper Egypt, Seti II had less than 2 years to complete his royal tomb--which reflects his tomb's incomplete state.

This relief of Maat was inscribed but not painted at the time of Seti II's death which perfectly captures the shortness of Seti II's reign since he had only about 2 years more to live after defeating Amenmesse in his 5th regnal year and recapturing Upper Egypt and the Valley of the Kings.

Seti II makes an offering to Osiris in KV15.jpg

Wall reliefs from Tomb KV15, the unfinished Tomb of the 19th Dynasty king Seti II, show a unique double image of Seti II making an offering to the god Osiris. While Seti II nominally had a reign of 6 years, he lost control of Upper Egypt and the Valley of the Kings to a rival king there named Amenmesse who was most likely one of the innumerable sons or grandsons of Ramesses II. This situation reflects the succession crisis which gripped late 19th Dynasty Egypt given the fact that Ramesses II lived into his 90’s but fathered so many sons who could pose as future rival contenders to the throne.

Seti II himself was the son of Merneptah who succeeded Ramesses II but Merneptah himself was only the thirteenth son of Ramesses II. After defeating Amenmesse's bid for the throne in his 5th regnal year, Seti II had less than 2 years to complete his royal tomb--which reflects its incomplete state.
