Official named Horemheb

Statue of an official named Horemheb.

Although this statue of the high official Horemheb dates to the Ptolemaic Period, its iconography and style is almost exclusively Egyptian.

In charge of the important trading post of Naukratis, Horemheb is shown here in a royal kilt, at a size usually reserved for monarchs and gods.

Ptolemaic Period (332-30 BC), from Naukratis
