In the Louvre Museum (A47), a quartzite group statue shows Sehetepebreankh-nedjem, Nebpu, and a son (...hotepib-shery) which has been damaged, the statue being dedicated by Nebpu to his father and datable by style to the end of the 12th Dynasty.[1] It was bought in 1816.[2]
At Hazor, a fragmentary statue of Nebpu has been found.[3]
