Relief from the Memphite tomb of Haremhab
18th Dynasty, reigns of Tutankhamun and Haremhab, 1355–1315 BC, Saqqara
Relief from the Memphite tomb of Haremhab
The tomb from which the relief derives was erected when Haremhab was still a general. The text records a speech to Egyptian officers. Haremhab was not buried at Saqqara but in a second, royal tomb in the Valley of the Kings at Thebes. A uraeus-serpent was added secondarily to his figures in the reliefs of his Memphite tomb.
