On the back (i.e. west side) of this mastaba are painted in red two horizontal ancient level lines. The lower line is called the [GLYPHS] line, and the upper one is apparently two ells from it. Crossing these horizontal lines at intervals along this side of the mastaba are broad bands, which, judging from similar works on the Menkaure pyramid temple, and Abusir temples were used for working off lengths.
A number of the stones above the usual masons' or quarryman's graffiti on them, but they are somewhat obscure. One particular sign is [GLYPHS]. It is hard to determine whether this was placed on the stone before or after it was erected in position the mastaba (probably after construction).
