Publication of a monument discovered at Saqqara, belonging to Djoser and, specifically, to his pyramid complex. This limestone piece with reliefs on three of its sides and an unfinished rough-cut back and top had been broken into two parts. The decoration is composed of snakes, jackals, lions/lionesses, serekks and the Horus name Ntry-ht. Three locations for the original emplacement of the monument are suggested: the hebsed court, the north side of the pyramid complex, and within a ceremonial gateway. This unique monument has no parallel in the Third Dynasty. Its discovery may change suggestions for the reconstruction of the pyramid complex of Djoser
