Clearing offering chamber of sand found a lintel stone with signs in relief [GLYPHS] [Seneb].
From the chamber the thieves (not modern, antiquity thieves) have broken into the serdab and into pit A. The well defined top of the pit A was about a meter below the top of the mastaba and the thieves built a rough kerb over the top of the pit to keep back mastaba filling. The bottom stone of this kerb on the southwest corner of the pit was a small battered pair statue (man and wife) face down (hands and feet gone) [25-12-245]. The mans' head found on November 19 on back part of the mastaba G 6041 (Reg. no. 25-11-13), fits on the male figure of this pair.
