Archaeologist and former Minister of Antiquities Dr. Zahi Hawass indicated that the mission found, for the first time, a statue of King Djoser, his wife, and his ten daughters inside the tomb. Initial studies have shown that these statues were located inside a room next to King Djoser's Step Pyramid and were moved to the tomb of Prince Userefre during the Late Period. The mission will continue its work to determine the reason behind moving these statues from their original location here.
In addition, a red granite offering table measuring 92.5 cm in diameter was found, bearing a text recording the lists of offerings. Inside one of the tomb chambers, a discovery was made. A colossal black granite statue, 1.17 meters tall, depicts a standing man with hieroglyphic inscriptions on his chest bearing the name and titles of his owner.
This statue appears to date back to the 26th Dynasty, indicating that the tomb may have been reused in the Late Period. In front of the eastern facade, another entrance to the tomb was found, also with pink granite shoulders, bearing inscriptions of the tomb owner, his titles, and the cartouche of King Neferirkare. To the north of the lintel, a discovery considered the first of its kind in the Saqqara area was made.
A group of 13 pink granite statues were found, seated on a high-backed bench. There are also statue heads higher than the rest of the statues, representing the wives of the tomb owner, seated in the center. To his left are two headless statues. In front of them, another black granite statue, upside down, was found, approximately 1.35 meters tall.
