It is listed in her father's temple at Medinet Madi and her name is written several times in a cartridge. She is the first royal woman of whom this is occupied with certainty what their special status underlines its origin and meaning but no longer can be reconstructed with certainty.

For them a burial in the pyramid of her father was prepared in Hawara, where she was never buried. Instead, they did not get far from the pyramid of her father away its own pyramid, without robbing was found and still contained the large granite sarcophagus, a gold -studded second coffin, numerous jewelry, three silver vases, pottery and other grave goods. Due to the moisture in the grave all organic materials were destroyed and so also found little remains of their dead body.
