She was the wife of Nefermaat, who was the eldest son of king Sneferu as well as a vizier and a religious leader in the royal court who officiated in the worship of Bastet.[1] She was the mother of three daughters and many sons. Her son, Hemiunu, succeeded her husband as vizier. She and her husband are buried in mastaba 16 at Meidum.[2][3] Their tomb is famous for paintings of geese, and of other animals, as well as depictions of daily family life.[4][5][6]
