Funerary Cone of the High Priest of Amun Hapuseneb

New Kingdom

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 117

This funerary cone is stamped with a seal inscribed for man named Hapuseneb who was high priest of the god Amun and seal-bearer of the king of Lower Egypt during the joint reign of the female pharaoh Hatshepsut and her nephew, Thutmose III. Hapusenb's tomb (TT 67) is in the Sheikh Abd el-Qurna cemetery of western Thebes. The tomb's facade seems to have been decorated with funerary cones stamped with two different, but similar, seals. In this example, the Inscription consists of three rows of hieroglyphs separated by raised lines. The second stamp has the same rows of hieroglyphs, but the separating lines have been omitted. For other examples of this second seal type, see cones 15.10.41 and 28.3.26. (CHR)
