Niankhpepi Kem's tomb is designated A1 Meir. It dates
to the reign of Pepi II and was uncovered by Daressy
and Barsanti who found two statues of the owner in it.


One was large sculpting Niankpepi Kem as if he were
walking. His hair or wig is in a short lock pattern
leaving his ears uncovered.

He wears a white kilt and belt with tab and apron.
He holds a staff in the hand of his extended left arm.
He also has an object in his right hand down at his
side.


Besides the two bigger statues there were several small
ones of offering bearers, workers, and an interesting one
of a naked lady dancer judging by the long plait of hair
attached to the statue.

Here's one painting from the tomb. And another.

Some in zealous error have supposed the below statue to be that
of the tomb owner rather than a bearer but compared to the above
two pics which class of person does it really resemble the most?
