Shabti for Djedkhonsuiuefankh (I) Worker

Bab el-Gasus Shabtis - Cache II - Tomb of the Priests of Amun

Djedkhonsuiuefankh – Dd-xnsw-iwf-anx

Also known as Amennioutnakht

The name means ‘Khonsu has said, he will live

God’s father of Amen-Re, the king of the gods, Steward, Overseer of the double Granary, Chief scribe of Amen-Re.

In several publications the Wab-priest Djedkhonsuiuefankh has been linked to A.141 but given the lack of the correct title this seems incorrect. A papyrus found in A.141 confirms the title ‘Overseer of the double Granary’ who, as far we know, was not a Wab-priest

Three or four namesakes were buried in the Bab el Gasus and no definitive attribution can be made. The ‘Overseer of the graneries’ series that surfaced shortly after the find is to be considered as owner of A.141 due to its title and design. Unfortunately, the ‘Overseer of the Granaries’ shabtis were not included in the lots that went to the 17 countries in 1893, but there is evidence that this series was sold to collectors soon after its discovery. Miguel Ángel Escobar Clarós, who examined the journey of the series in 2008, has found several indications to support this theory (not published yet)

Not proven to come from Bab el Gasus but imho most likely the owner of A.141 and son of Shedsuhor.

See Schlögl/Brodbeck 1990, pg. 221 (rejected by Liliane Aubert) and for the hieroglyphs Niwinski pg. 142. Araújo also attributes this shabti to Bab el Gasus but to A.8, son of Nespernub.
