North of G 2190 lies G 2185 back against G 2183 [G 2183 crossed out in red and G 2186? added] and G 2184. Clearing the top of this the men came on the top of the head of a small figure. [ILLUSTRATION]

Mastaba G 2185 developed as in sketch above. Mud brick walls are cased with limestone. In the niche in front of the serdab there was the body of a larger statuette [MFA 12.1483] (fine work) leaning against the niche. The corridor was occupied by X-pits which were dug after decay of cemetery. In the debris along the corridor we found fragments of a stela (or two stelae) with very delicate reliefs similar to the Khufu work. These stelae did not come from G 2185 but some other mastaba.
At sunset removed the three statuettes and the fragments of stelae to the house.
