Image description:
To the south of the causeway is the mastaba of Queen Khentkawes (fl. ca. 2460 BCE), who was probably Mycerinus¿ [Menkaure's] daughter. It resembles the Mastaba Faraun of Shepseskaf at Saqqara in that it has a superstructure shaped like a sarcophagus mounted on a high socle, but in this case the core of the podium is constructed from an outcrop of rock. The priests of Khentkawes¿ mortuary cult lived in a cluster of mud-brick buildings around the enclosure wall; there was also a large unplanned town which housed the priests of the offering cults and other personnel associated with the royal funerary complexes [Grove Online]
