Standing pair statue, painted limestone
Giza, cemetery 1200, tomb 1206; Dynasty 5

The identify of this couple is uncertain. An inscription over the chapel door of the tomb where it was found noted “a royal acquaintance” and “inspector of wa’b-priests” Ikhetneb. However, this sculpture may date from a subsequent use of the tomb originally belonging to Ikhetneb. One of the offering basins refers to another “a royal acquaintance” and “inspector of wa’b-priests” named Senenu. The color of this statue, with its gender-specific poses, has faded since Reisner’s time.
