Double Pyramid

The larger, eastern tomb has a base measurement of 27.7 m x 21.53 m and is made of large blocks of white limestone. Its outer walls, only roughly worked, had an incline of 78°, which indicates a mastaba or a pyramid base rather than a true pyramid. The height cannot be determined. A descending passage leads from the middle of the north side to the burial chamber, which measures 4.5 m x 2.7 m. The sarcophagus stands in a niche on the west side of the chamber.

The smaller, western tomb measures 21.7 x 15.7 m and also has an incline of 78°. It is built of roughly hewn grey limestone and has been heavily robbed of stone, so that only a few layers remain. The layering of the surviving masonry indicates that it was built after the eastern tomb.

Karl Richard Lepsius located the structure and listed it as pyramid number XXV. Ludwig Borchardt later classified it as a double mastaba but did not examine it closely. A Czech archaeological team led by Miroslav Verner carried out the first intensive excavation between 2001 and 2004. It showed that there was no mortuary temple, and that the area once taken for one was part of the western tomb. An offering chapel stood on the east side of the eastern tomb; the height of its rooms is known to have been about 5 metres. Papyrus fragments of a list of offerings and an alabaster fragment of a female statue were found in its ruins.

In the eastern burial chamber, thoroughly stripped by grave robbers, parts of a woman's remains, fragments of limestone canopic jars and grave goods were found. In the western tomb only very few traces of a woman's burial and a single object of grave goods survived. Building inscriptions and marks in the masonry included the name of the structure, which can be rendered as "the two [pyramids] are watchful."
