Sitting figure of Maja - Staatliche Museen zu Berlin Collections
Inventory Number: ÄM 19286 Tutmose III (18th Dynasty, New Kingdom, Egypt) Location Information: Akhmim (? / Egypt / Middle Egypt)
Description:
Maja was a high official of the provincial administration. He was installed as Gouverneur and head of the Priests in the 10th upper egyptian district by king Tutmose III, who's name is written on the chest and right upper arm. His grave was found in the necropolis of the main settlement of that district and it is speculated that this figure was also from there. Maja sits upright on a simple stool. The text tells us names and titles of the deceased, as well as the sacrificial rites for the local deities. He is dressed in a short skirt, originally reserved for the kings, but later also found with private persons. He holds in his right hand a sweat cloth, while the left isflat on his skirt. The round expressionless face is, like the entire figure, structured very formal. A wig that was in keeping with the taste of the time was literally placed over the head. The two necklaces, consisting of disc pearls, as well as the massive upper and lower arm bracelets, are awards made of gold that the king had given him. They probably indicate former military service.

Statue of Anen, second priest of Amon -Museo Egizio Collection
Inventory Number: Cat. 1377 New Kingdom, Dynasty 18, 1390–1353 BCE Location Information: Thebes
Description:
A dignitary wearing a wig, a long gown, and the leopard skin of a priest. On the ornament at his belt we read the names of Amenhotep III. Anen, the inscription tells us, is an astronomer priest, “one who knows the nature of the sky.” That is why the spots on the leopard skin are rendered as stars. He is also “one who puts things in their proper place” (that is, offerings for the gods in the appointed place) and “appeases the gods with his voice.” Anen was the brother of queen Teye, wife of Amenhotep III (1390-1353 BC).
