Sneferu Endures
The Stable Pyramid

The north Meidum Masataba field. Their are two very significant mastabas here. Mastaba no. 16, that of Nefer-maat and his wife Itet. It is here that we find the magnificent "Geese of Meidum" painting. It is actually found in the Itet's section. It is one of the great masterpieces of the Old Kingdom. And the mastaba of Ra-hotep and Nofret, where the famous statute pair of Ra-hotep and Nofret were located. The two statues, together with Geese painting, are to be seen at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
