The Theban Tomb TT156 is located in Dra' Abu el-Naga', part of the Theban Necropolis, on the west bank of the Nile, opposite to Luxor. It is the burial place of the Ancient Egyptian Pennesuttawy who was a troop commander and superintendent of the Southern Desert Lands during the reign of Ramesses II in the Nineteenth Dynasty.
The tomb was already known to Champollion. He had given it the number 43.
The tomb consists of a hall, pillared hall, a shrine, and a burial chamber.
Finds from the tomb include a brick of Pennesuttawy (now in the Philadelphia University Museum). The tomb was later reused during the 21st dynasty and the 22nd dynasty.
