Nefer (Formal, Fifth Dynasty, Old Kingdom, c. 2400 BC) was the basic son of Kahay, a singer in the royal court who drew the attention of the king who, to show him favour, had his son learned with the young princes. This had the effect of positioning Nefer most well for the advancement of his career.

Nefer came from a family of musicians and hereditary many of his fathers duties in directing the music for the court observances. In addition he was addressed to higher offices in the service of the royal administration. These involved Controller of the Singers and Examiner of the essential House and the Artisans Workshop, and Nefer was as well rewarded with the title Keeper of the Secrets of the King. The net mark of favour shown to him by the king, plausibly Niuserre, with whom he had grown up, was the planning of a fine rock-cut tomb for himself and his home at Saqqara.

The tomb is a delightful compendium of the pleasances of the lifestyle of a well come out Egyptian of the late Old Kingdom, of which there can have been hardly a more preferred existences. In the cheerfully dressed chambers Nefer and the members of his family are presented enjoying country pursuits on their farm in Upper Egypt, being delighted, appropriately enough, by a little orchestra and with their family favourites, taking on their dog, an Egyptian hound, and a big baboon which assists with the wine-harvest and directs the crewmen loading Nefers boat.

Nefer plausibly died c. 2400 BC. Since his grave was not one of the first grandness it was buried during the establishing of the Causeway for King Unas pyramid, thus resulting in its conservation until modern times. Different members of his family were entombed in the tomb, which controls one of the oldest and best preserved mummies in Egypt.
