In the lining of the blocking we found: small statuette (limestone) basis and arm gone. After photographed the statuette we remove[d] it to the Camp and we found that the basis we found before in shaft G 2420 D with the name of Nedjemuw is the basis of that statuette we found today. Also the arm we found in debris of mastaba G 2419 we found that it is of the statuette we found today, and the statuette is now perfect. Removed the chamber blocking, we found body, head on north. Found in chamber debris: skull of another body and some bones, body left for photo.
