She is also known from her burial at Nuri. The latter consisted of a pyramid with a chapel and two underground burial chambers. There was a staircase going underground and leading to two rooms. The burial was found robbed, but fragments of uninscribed shabtis were found. Here was also found a stela showing Batahaliye in front of the Underworld god Osiris The inscriptions there are made in Egyptian hieroglyphs, but the texts are hard to read.
