Meryre (treasurer)

Meryre was an ancient Egyptian official under king Amenhotep III in the 18th Dynasty around 1375 BC.

He was therefore one of the most important officials at the royal court, looking after the belongings of the king and the goods of the palace.

Meryre is so far only attested in his tomb at Saqqara, that was discovered in the 1980s in the temple area known as the Bubasteum.

The other fragment shows Meryre and his wife in front of an offering table in the upper register.

In the lower register he is shown together with the king's son Siatum, who is sitting on his lap.
