Neferu II

2050 BC[1][2]) was the wife and sister of the ancient Egyptian king Mentuhotep II who ruled in the 11th Dynasty.

[1] The inscriptions in the tomb mention that she was the daughter of a person called Iah,[4] most likely the king's mother Iah who was the mother of king Mentuhotep II.

It is known that Mentuhotep II was the son of king Intef III who was most likely the father of Neferu.

Neferu is mainly known from her tomb (TT319) at Deir el-Bahari.

[5] The tomb was found badly destroyed but the decorated burial chamber was well preserved and many fragments from the reliefs in the tomb chapel were found.
