Neferherenptah

The hieroglyphic name
of Neferherenptah

Neferherenptah was an Official of the Fifth Dynasty, Old Kingdom, c. 2380 BC. Neferherenptah died briefly before the addition of King Unas. He was a Royal Acquaintance, Inspector of Artisans and Overseer of the Carpenters. When work began on the kings pyramid and the causeway leading to it, Neferherenptah's tomb was incomplete. It contains, however, drawings which, had they been carved as reliefs, would have been of exceptional quality. They show the tomb owner hunting, observing birdlife, savoring his garden, watching the harvest and the vintage.
