介绍（中）	Kaemsenu是一位与萨胡尔国王崇拜，奈菲里尔卡雷国王的太阳神庙和纽瑟雷国王金字塔有关的牧师。他教堂的墙上有三个供品壁龛：左边的壁龛是他的妻子Iretnub，中间是他自己的，右边是Werdjedptah（可能是亲戚）和他的妻子。Kaemsenu的一座雕像被放置在墙后面，它最初位于小sardab（雕像室）中，通过墙上的一个插槽可以看到。象形文字保留了一系列颜色：淡黄色，赭石的红色和棕色，孔雀石的绿色，埃及蓝（用作着色剂的复合材料）的蓝色，石膏的白色和碳形式的黑色。在许多情况下，颜料显然是为了近似形成象形文字的人物和物体在自然界中具有的颜色而选择的。其他选择则不太明显 - 例如蓝色一直用于代表我们已知的铜罐。最终轮廓是红色或黑色，显然取决于哪个似乎补充了标志的颜色。
介绍（英）	Kaemsenu was a priest associated with the cult of King Sahure, with the sun temple of King Neferirkare, and with the pyramid of King Niuserre. The wall of his chapel incorporates three offering niches: the one on the left for his wife Iretnub, in the center for himself, and on the right for Werdjedptah (probably a relative) and his wife. One of Kaemsenu's statues has been placed behind the wall where it originally sat in the small serdab (statue chamber) and is visible through a slot in the wall. The hieroglyphs preserve an array of colors: pale yellow, red and brown from ochers, green from malachite, blue from Egyptian blue (a composite material used as a colorant), white from gypsum, and black from a form of carbon. In many cases, the pigments clearly were chosen to approximate the colors that the figures and objects forming the hieroglyphs would have had in nature. Other choices are less obvious-such as the blue consistently used to represent pots that are known to us in copper. Final outlines are either in red or black, depending apparently on which seemed to complement the colors of the sign.
