Identity

On the ivory tablet (so-called tablet years ), of which two out of the grave of Djer at Abydos and one derived from Saqqara, several ceremonies are represented pictorially, including bringing several fetishes. In the center of the concept is the death of two queens. These are presented as busts with women's heads on decorated galleries, from their foreheads leak blood out ( in previous readings, this was mistakenly interpreted as a floral arrangement or diadem ). The front of the deceased is entitled to a court lady of higher rank: Weret - hetes ( " Great of Hetes - scepter "). This she does as a royal consort. My name is Penebui, which can be translated as " seat of the two masters." The name of Penebui, as well as that of their deceased companion ( it is titled Maa- Cheru ( " accessible to voice "); her name consists of three indistinctly written fish symbols and is no longer clearly legible) is introduced with a rare hieroglyph that is similar to the later feces character Gardiner - F52 and "die" for, or "death" is.

Penebuis death seems to be also noted on the Palermostein in the 4th year window of Djer. Wolfgang Helck suspects that if the Queen died by decapitation, as the figure of a deceased maid of honor is accompanied to the annals of rock a decapitated Lapwing.
