The decorative motif in the serdab of the tomb of Pepyankh Henykem at Meir is extremely unusual. Examination of this decoration, and a comparison with the few extant parallels, suggests that it represents a late Old Kingdom attempt at innovation in tomb decoration. In addition, the possibility of a personal link between Pepyankh and a family from Giza is presented
