a total of twenty porters arranged in two rows and which have the
characteristic of being divided symmetrically into two sub-groups, by a
visible middle line. Those of each half heading toward the nearest
Kagemni figure, either on the north or south wall. In the upper part of
the wall, can be found stacks of vases, chests, etc. These are also
separated into north and south groups by the central dividing line. Yet
again the upper registers only contain the blue-gray coloured
background.
The sarcophagus bears the name and the titles of Kagemni. The plunderers displaced its lid. The limestone box section actually contained a wooden coffin with various remnants and bones belonging to the great nomarch, whose mummy had been smashed to steal the amulets and other precious objects which it contained. The excavators have found very little of the funeral furniture, primarily crockery. Canopic vases were also present, although broken
