Neferhotep was an ancient Egyptian official with the title scribe of the great enclosure.
His tomb was found in 1860 by Auguste Mariette in Dra Abu el-Naga and contained an important range of objects, most notably of which was the Papyrus Boulaq 18, which is an account of life in the Theban palace.
The tomb contained the rishi coffin of Neferhotep, which was most likely badly decayed when Mariette found it.
Other finds in the tomb are a walking stick, a head rest, a faïence hippopotamus, wooden pieces of the Hounds and Jackals game, a mace, writing implements, a wooden tray for a mirror, two calcite vessels, a magical wand and a double scarab.
There are few well-preserved tomb groups of this period, giving this find a special importance.
