- Remarks
- Abu-Bakr Excavation (1953). There are four niches in the eastern façade of the mastaba: two complex niches on the south (ABC 351 and ABC 352), then a deep, inscribed white limestone niche including Seneb's false door (ABC 353), and finally a simple niche (ABC 354) in the north end of the façade. Presumably, the northern pair of niches were dedicated to Seneb and the southern pair devoted to his wife Neferhanisut.
