An Early 4th Dynasty queen (Old Kingdom), who was the principal wife of Snefru (2613-2589 BC), the mother of Khufu (2589-2566 BC) and probably also the daughter of Huni, last ruler of the 3rd Dynasty. Her unmarked tomb, inside Khufu's pyramid-complex at Giza has been found. At the bottom of a deep stone-filled shaft was found the queen's empty sarcophagus, surrounded by furniture and articles of jewelry attesting to the high artistic and technical ability of 4th-Dynasty craftsmen.
