Khendjer

Khendjer was an Egyptian king (throne name: Userkare; the meaning of the birth name Khendjer is uncertain—bore has been assumed) of the 13th Dynasty .

Khendjer is mainly known from his pyramid complex excavated by G. Jequier at Saqqara. A fragment of a canopic jar found there names his wife: Seneb ... [the rest of name is lost]. A stela from Abydos reports building works of the king at the Osiris temple at Abydos. A stela once in Liverpool (destroyed in World War II) provides the name of the king's son Khedjer, perhaps a son of Khendjer.
