Tomb IGN58 is located in a degraded area of the minor massif of sector II of the Khuraymat necropolis. The facade, which is almost as wide as it is tall, belongs to the type with two rows of crowsteps. It is heavily eroded and exhibits advanced degradation, which hinders the understanding of the original decorative elements. The facade features an Egyptian cornice, torus molding, and a plain architrave, with pseudo-Doric capitals on the left pilaster and an epigraphic cartouche. The lower area is severely compromised, with multiple cracks and missing parts.
