As reported, the decoration is present mainly in the north and south wings of the transverse rooms. Rather than a description of individual wings, we will try to follow the chronological order of their walls.

TRANSVERSE HALL, EAST WALL, NORTH WING: the appointment of Huy as Viceroy

1) - The King

(, , )

At the northern extremity of the east wall, we see the Pharaoh Tutankhamun (whose cartouches were scraped away) sitting on a throne placed on a dais under a richly carved canopy supported by lotus form columns. The young King is wearing the Blue Crown, holding in one hand the crook and flail, in the other the sign of life ankh.

2) - Appointment Ceremony

a) - Upper register

()

In the name of the King (perhaps too young to make the decree), Huy was officially appointed to his position by "The Overseer of the treasury’" who remains anonymous, but was probably Meryre or Maya, (). The inscription states: "The Overseer of the Treasury, says, ‘Thus speaks Pharaoh, ‘There is handed over to you [devolved land management] from Nekheb to Neswet-tawy", a vast territory ranging from Elkab until the fourth cataract of the Nile!
Opposite him, Huy, carrying a fan, replies: "May Amon, lord of Neswet-tawy do according to all that you have commanded (?), O Sovereign my lord" ().
Huy is accompanied by bowing courtiers, a scene which would not have been out of place in a tomb at Amarna, who state: "The courtiers who are in the palace say: ‘You are the son of Amon, O Nebkheperurê! May he cause the chiefs of all lands to come to you with the choicest and best of their lands".

b) - Register n°2

On the left we see a high official (the vizier?) talking to Huy after giving him an object with a white and pink outline, but unfortunately there is no text that can shed light on its nature. Then he hands Huy the gold signet-ring of his office (clearly visible in yellow in the photo ) : "Giving the seal of the office of King’s son by [the Vizier (?)]’ and a further explanatory title reads: ‘Handing over the office to the King’s son of Kush, Huy, from Nekheb to Karoy".

3) - Huy leaves the audience chamber

After the ceremony Huy, whose figure now occupies the height of two registers, leaves the palace, his arms full of bouquets (, ). The accompanying text says: "Going forth praised from the Palace, having been promoted in the presence of the good God to be the King’s son, Overseer of the southern lands, Huy; Khentkhennefer (= Upper Nubia) having been entrusted to him, and Upper Egypt being bound together under his supervision, so as to administer them on behalf of the Lord of the Two Lands, like all subjects of his Majesty’".
Huy is followed by two of his sons (on register 2) who attended the ceremony (before cleaning:  ; after: ) : "…the King's envoy Tjury" Tjoury and "The Overseer of horses Paser…" who later became Viceroy of Nubia in turn under Ay and Horemheb.

4) - Further to the right

are a set of very damaged scenes that Nestor L'Hôte has luckily copied ().

a) - On the upper register

Some "rwdw", who are subordinates of the Viceroy of Nubia, welcome their new leader ().

b) - The immediate lower registers

Here are shown persons who are turned to face the right as a part the procession going to the temple of Amon at Karnak. Many are carrying .
Likewise with the sailors who are represented on the third register, headed by a crew leader and standard-bearer. Text: "Sailors of the King’s son of Kush, Huy, Expressions of jubilation!, They say: O King’s son of the Ruler, May Amon receive him, Rejoice! You shall make your old age a good one!"
On the 4th register a lute player, now missing, preceded another group carrying bouquets and festive branches (). The left side of the register has two other, less exuberant, groups of people, dressed in loose tunics and not just loincloths. These are courtiers and friends of Huy (, flèches). People who are on the far left are bowing before the royal throne ().

c) - Finally, under the lowest panel, there are three smaller registers. These are almost completely destroyed; we know they showed groups of animals for sacrifice in the temple, horses (without chariots), offering bearers…

4) - Huy renders thanks to the Gods in the Temple of Amon at Karnak

What remains of this representation is on the far right, nearby the entrance. There Huy pours myrrh onto an offering table (). Lepsius had been able to copy the text which offers an invocation " (…) to Harakhty, to Sokar-Osiris, Lord of Shetit, to Nefertem to Wennefer, to all gods of the Sacred Land, those who are on (?) the island of the Just".

The chronological period following the appointment appears on the same wall, on the other side of the entrance.

TRANSVERSE HALL, EAST WALL, SOUTH SIDE: IN NUBIA

The wall is divided into three parts: the departure of the new Viceroy to return to his post at Faras, seat of the Viceroy in Nubia, overseeing the collection of Nubian tribute and the departure of loaded barges to the capital ().

The journey to Nubia

1) - Departing the Temple

Huy leaves the temple of Amun, a cane in one hand and a vegetable bouquet in the other (). The accompanying text says: "Coming from the temple of Amon, after doing what is laudable in his sight, in order to administer that land of Kush, by the prince, the great-courtier, important in his office, great in his dignity, the royal scribe of the King, beloved of him Amenhotep…"
Huy is followed by family members whose pictures and names have greatly deteriorated. They are divided into two registers.

On the top register one can still recognize the silhouettes of four people, sons of Huy () ; the names of Tjury, "Principal stable-chief of the King" and Paser have survived.

On the register below are five women (). The first, who has white hair, is "His mother, the Mistress of a House, Wnher", followed by an anonymous woman, then "The Singer of Amon, greatly favoured by the perfect God, Ke [nu] ro", a lady named Nodjmet, then "His sister (wife?), the Mistress of a House, Gau" and finally [… Henut].

Other persons of the family or of the household of Huy were on the third register, but have disappeared.

2) - The boat of Office of Huy

It is depicted twice over in front and above Huy sailing up the Nile; below, in dock. It is a splendid scene and Nina Davies has made a remarkable copy of it () ; the present state of it will be compared with interest () with the state in the 1960s ().

a) - Above

(, ).

The boat carries the Viceroy, who appears in the forward cabin, facing south, protected by a canopy () ; beside him, the pilot probes the riverbed with a long pole. The sail is deployed to take advantage of the north wind and the rowers are distributed on each side of the bulwarks (), supervised by a foreman who appeared on the roof of the main cabin, a whip in his hand (his figure has disappeared today). At the front of the cabin is a stall for Viceroy’s horses.
Montu, the warrior God of the Theban region, easily recognizable by his two tall feathers, is omnipresent in the decoration of the front and rear cabins as well as that of the bow and the stern, where he slaughters… Nubians (). More details are found here: .

b) - Below

The same boat is shown without its crew, sail furled, with the only living things being Huy’s horses (). The ship is probably docked at Faras in Nubia. One can see, more easily than in the image above, the presence at the rear of the stern cabin of a falcon wearing the solar disk surmounting a bulwark.

3) - At Faras, the seat of the Viceroy

A welcoming committee now occupies three registers to the right of the boats and one below ().

a) - Below the boats

These are hard to see nowadays, but there are "The Lieutenant of Wawat" and "The Lieutenant of Kush"; one of them is kneeling before him. They are followed by six sailors whose leader is described as: "The chief of sailors of the King’s son" (). Women who are singing and dancing to the rhythm of drums are part of the welcoming committee (, ).

b) - To the right of the boats

Upon these three registers, appear the local high dignitaries who greet their new superior by bringing him food and bags of gold dust. From top to bottom are:

Register 1

()

At the head (now disappeared) was "The Lieutenant of Wawat" before "The Lieutenant of Kush", who had white hair. Then came "The Mayor of Khaemmaât", finally an "Overseer of cattle". Khaemmaât refers to Soleb where Amenhotep III had built a temple in which he was represented as deified.

Register 2

"The first prophet of Nebkheperurê (Tutankhamun) -in-the-midst-of-Sehetepenteru (Faras), Khay, he says, ‘May [he] praise you and love you (Tutankhamun)… may he cause you to enjoy the life which his soul gives". Behind him, two persons carry bags of gold dust; They are the "Lieutenant Governor of the fortress Sehetepnetjeru, Penniut" and Huy (a namesake of the Viceroy), "Mayor of Sehetepnetjeru".

Registre 3

()

The first person is the actual brother of the Viceroy: "His brother, the second prophet of Nebkheperure-in-the-midst-of-the–fortress-of-Sehtepnetjeru, Mermose" who is followed by two priests designated as "Wab (=pure) -Priests of Nebkheperure-in-the-midst-of-the–fortress-of-Sehtepnetjeru".

c) - Base of the wall

As in most of the Theban tombs, there is found at the bottom of the walls a painted border consisting of two thick bands, yellow and red, bordered by black lines. Here in the TT40, scenes were added in this border, which is quite exceptional. Alas, during the occupation of the chapel, the lower part of the walls has suffered greatly and these scenes are almost completely lost. On this wall, they appeared as three smaller registers: only the faint traces of tribute porters persist, probably completing the scenes of collecting tribute which we will now examine.

Huy supervises the taking in of tribute goods

()

A large vertical black line separates the already described scenes from the following scenes. This area of ​​the wall is one that has suffered most attempts to cut out scenes and as you can see on there are irreparable damage due to attempted looting between 1960 and today.

We find Huy sitting on a simple cane work stool, a sekhem sceptre in one hand, his long cane in the other. He oversees the inflow of goods from his province, which he will report to Pharaoh, especially the most important of them, the gold, the hieroglyph "nebw", is repeated many times. The precious metal is in the form of rings or dust in white or red bags ().

Register 1 (above)

(, ).

Men and women of all ages (some with grey hair) heads turned to the left (so towards the north, i.e. Egypt) submit their gold to a certain Haty, "The chief of the stables", probably a favourite of Huy, as he is shown three times in this function as collector. Behind him, the pelts of felines and cows reveal that Nubia produced other wealth besides gold (, ).

Register 2

(, )

An old woman, leaning on a stick, raises her hand to two figures facing her, a gesture whose function we do not exactly understand. After a space there is a long-necked vase with a handle and chests. Only the feet of the scribe who recorded the goods remain.

Register 3

() ;

Amongst the women there is a small naked girl who turns her head towards her mother and pulls her dress. Behind the recipient (Haty?) are piled rings and bags of gold as well as dishes of carnelian (red) and a green ore ().

Register 4

We find Haty again, receiving the gold (). Behind him is revealed the very important step of weighing it, shown on a larger scale. The operation is done under the responsibility of "he scribe who counts the gold, Hornefer". On one scale pan are placed gold rings on the other weights, one of which has the shape of an ox; this was intact in the 1960 picture () but is now mutilated (). The person that puts the weight on the pan is turned towards his companion who examines the scale pointer.

Register 5

()

Besides gold, leather products are brought to Haty - him again! - () : a quiver and a case to protect a bow (, ). Scribes sitting cross-legged document it all.

Huy’s inspection of boats

A new vertical line isolates this latter group of scenes.

Huy is standing this time () and it is assumed, despite the absence of any inscription, that he is supervising the loading of Nubian goods on vessels that will sail to Thebes.

Before and above him, painters have placed two barges, one green and one red, using the arched ceiling (). Overloaded with freight, these skiffs are immobile.

On the lower register, barges are dragged and pushed on the Nile mud flats, perfectly shown as the gray line beneath the prow (, ).

The middle registry has almost entirely disappeared. It comprised various products including what looks very much like a lot of sekhem sceptres in a basket ().
Below this, the boats have reached the river; they have their oars and rudders rigged but are still moored to the shore.

The last register

Hornefer appears again, this time accompanied by "The scribe of the King’s son Huy, Khaa" who is in the process of recording the loaded goods. It is impossible to determine the contents of red bundles enclosed by white nets being handled before loading; it is the same with long yellow objects stacked head to tail and the white types of bundles above.
