High Priest of Amun, Men-kheper-re-seneb

The name Menkheperre-seneb translates to “Thutmose III is healthy,” referring to the king whose cartouche is inscribed on the left shoulder of this figure’s cloak. Having grown up in the palace alongside Thutmose III undoubtedly helped Menkheperre-seneb advance to the rank of High Priest of Amun, one of the highest offices at the time. He wears a leopard-skin cloak, the typical garb of upper-level priests. The leopard’s head and paws hang over his kilt. The stars on the cloak evoke leopard spots.
