Yuny and His Wife Renenutet
1294–1279 B.C. New Kingdom, Ramesside
These figures represent Yuny seated next to his wife Renenutet.
Yuny, who lived in the city of Asyut, was a chief royal scribe and holder of many other offices, perhaps including that of a physician.
Additional inscriptions on the base of the statue further elaborate Yuny's responsibilities.
On the centerfold of Yuny's pleated skirt is an inscription that reads: "May everything that comes forth upon the offering table of [the god] .
and all pure food that comes forth from the Great Enclosure [the temple complex at Heliopolis] be for the chief scribe, royal scribe of letters, Yuny, justified."
Renenutet affectionately places her right arm around her husband's shoulders.
