Overseer of the king's craftsmen

Neferef was a high ancient Egyptian official who served under King Qaa (around 2870 BC) at the end of the 1st Dynasty .

Neferef appears on various annual tablets of the ruler and bore the title "Overseer of the king's craftsmen" ( Mḏḥ-mḏḥw-njsw ). Since a certain Henuka is in the same office, but also under Semerchet , it can be assumed that Neferef was the successor in office. Neferef's grave is unknown.
