His mastaba tomb (labelled C8) is near the pyramid of the 5th Dynasty king Userkaf (reg c. 2465–c. 2458 bc) in North Saqqara. An uninscribed wooden standing statue (Cairo, Egypt. Mus., CG 34) was found in Tomb C8 when it was excavated by Mariette in 1860. Mariette's workmen gave the statue its nickname, 'Sheikh el-Beled' (Arab.: 'headman of the village'). The life-size, sycamore-wood statue, originally covered in plaster, represents Ka-aper as a stout, middle-aged figure dressed in a straight skirt tied at the waist. It is perhaps the best-known of Old Kingdom private statues, displaying a remarkable realism with the round face and plump stomach clearly indicating the comfortable prosperity of a chief priest. The pose of the figure, standing with left foot forward, is typical of male funerary sculpture of the Old Kingdom. The left arm is bent at the elbow and originally held a staff (now restored), and the right arm is straight at his side holding a sekhem sceptre. The arms have been carved separately—the left consisting of two pieces—and they are attached to the torso by wooden pegs. The face is economically and powerfully sculpted, with a double-chin and straight, wide nose. Only the bare outlines of eye-sockets and eyebrows are represented. The inlaid eyes, rimmed with copper, are well preserved; the corneas are of rock crystal, and the pupils, drilled through the corneas, are filled with a black pigment. This method of producing the pupil was an old technique, used in the early 4th Dynasty statues of Rehotpe and Nofret, whereas inlaid eyes from the mid-5th Dynasty (c. 2400 bc) onwards used discs of obsidian.
