Burial of Unknown

Site: Saqqara, Tomb: HMK5

Description:

At the bottom of the shaft were burial chambers one on each side. One contained the remains of a burial accompanied by decayed models of boats and a granary.

There were fragments of a Xth-XIIth dynasty wooden coffin originally painted yellow with inscription in green-filled incised hieroglyphics and eyes on side. The burial chamber also contained a quantity of broken early Middle Kingdom pottery. This burial seems to have been made after the destruction of Mastaba E.
From the other chamber came a small cup of black slate (2-3 cms. high) of Vth dynasty date and an alabaster inscribed headrest.
