Layout of Setibhor's complex. In order: 1) Colonnaded courtyard; 2) Five niche statue chapel; 3) Antichambre carrée; 4) Storerooms; 5) Offering hall; 6) Cult pyramid; 7) Main pyramid.
Her pyramid was known for a long time, lying next to that of the king at Saqqara and is known for its unusually large size, the largest built for a Queen in the Old Kingdom. Her name and titles were found on a column in 2019. American Egyptologist Klaus Baer (1930–1987), who assisted Fakhry on the excavation, noted that scenes had been "secondarily altered" with texts above the Queen's head erased and replaced by "vultures and other royal insignia".
