Neferhetepes

Neferhetepes (nefer-hetep-es; nfr-ḥtp-s, "Her Peace/Grace Is Beautiful") was an ancient Egyptian princess of the 4th Dynasty; a daughter of Pharaoh Djedefre who ruled between his father Khufu and his brother Khafre.

The name of Neferhetepes is known to us from a statue fragment found in Abu Rawash where her father had a pyramid complex built.

[1] Neferhetepes was also a Priestess of Hathor, mistress of the sycamore (hemet-netjer-hut-hor nebet-nehet, ḥmt-nṯr-ḥwt-ḥr nb.t-nht).

[2] Neferhetepes has been proposed as the mother of pharaoh Shepseskaf by Ariel Kozloff,[4] although for Vivienne Gae Callender there is no evidence in support of this hypothesis.

They show that there was a second woman with the name Neferhetepes, wife of Userkaf and mother of Sahure.
