==The Pyramid== Her pyramid at the North side of the king's pyramid measured about 16.8 meters at the base, and was once perhaps also 16.8 meters high. It was built of mud bricks and covered with limestone slabs. In front of the pyramid was a small chapel decorated with reliefs. The remains of the reliefs preserved Itakayt's name. Her burial chamber contained a sarcophagus, a canopic chest, and two canopic jars.
