The Metropolitan Museum of Art King Haremhab Bookmark

Met-inspired gifts for art lovers. This royal figure comes from an early 20th-century likeness of the Egyptian king Haremhab, copied from the ruler's ancient tomb. The tempera facsimile in The Met collection, painted around 1910-11 by the British artist Lancelot Crane (British, 1880-1918), depicts Haremhab with the jackal-headed Anubis, the god of mummification. Crane made a number of facsimiles reproducing works of ancient Egyptian art, several of which are in the Museum's holdings.
