Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Statue of the priest of Amun (not High priest) Menkheperraseneb son of Amenemhat, depicted as a scribe. For a long time this statue was attributed to the High Priest of Amun Menkheperraseneb, owner of Theban tombs TT86 and TT112. Recently it was discovered that the HPA Menkheperraseneb were two distinct individuals, and also that this statue probably does not belong to neither of them.
