Abstract

This paper aims to study the false door of Netjernefer, who, according to his titles, was from the elite and served the king. The false door is currently exhibited at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, where it has CG 1447 and JE 28489. It was dated to the sixth Dynasty; however, based on the stylistic and iconographic features displayed on it, the present study suggested its dating to the fifth Dynasty. Different sources mentioned that its provenance was either Abusir or Saqqara. The study concludes that it was mostly found in Abusir. The article deals with the description of the elements of the false door; it also transliterates, translates, and discusses the texts inscribed on it. Furthermore, comments on the artistic features, signs, names, and titles.
