Her burial at Nuri 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. There were several vessels and a die made of faience or white paste. Her name was preserved on an offering table found there == References ==
