Bunefer

Burial

Bunefer's rock-cut tomb is located to the north of the funerary complex of Queen Khentkaus I in the central field. The facade of the tomb opens to the south and a large doorway leads to a large chapel. Off to the east, another doorway leads to the tomb. Bunefer's name and titles appear on the walls and the pillars of the room. A son is mentioned in one of the scenes, but he has the simple titles of judge and inspector of the scribes. The burial chamber of Bunefer contained a white limestone sarcophagus. Inside the sarcophagus, a female skull was found of a woman estimated to be in her mid thirties. It is possible this is Queen Bunefer's skull.
