Seneb is known from a beautifully carved statue showing him and his wife Senetites with their two children, a remarkable piece of private sculpture from the Old Kingdom.

Though of no great stature - Seneb was a dwarf - he reached high in the service of the King. At the same time a priest attached to the funerary cult of Khufu and Djedefre, he was also responsible for the care of the royal wardrobe and had employees under him.

His service rendered him lands and cattle, and a richly furnished tomb to share with his wife.
