History

Nofret was a woman who lived in Ancient Egypt during the 4th dynasty of Egypt.

Nefert means "beautiful". Nofret is alternatively known as Nefert hotsell or Neferet.


Nofret's parents are not known. Nofret married Prince Rahotep, a son of Pharaoh Sneferu. She had three daughters and three sons with Rahotep.

Nofret was buried with her husband in mastaba 16 at Meidum. In 1871 by Daninos, beautiful statues of Rahotep and Nofret were found. Nofret is depicted with a black wig and very fair face. Her titles in hieroglyphs on the back of her chair name her as "King's Acquaintance" The statues are now in the Cairo Museum. The mastaba of the couple had two burial chambers and two cult chapels. The Southern cult chapel belonged to Rahotep, the northern one to Nofret. Here she is depicted with Rahotep in front of an offering table.
