On the body there is a vertical register of hieroglyphic writing. This horizontal inscription translates: “May the Osiris, Son of King, (priest) Shem, Khaemwaset, righteous of voice, be enlightened”.
Khaemwaset was the fourth son of Pharaoh Ramses II and the second son of his second Great Royal Wife, Queen Isis-Nefert. He is the best known of Rameses’ sons, as his contributions to Egyptian society have been remembered for centuries. He was high priest of Ptah and, at the end of his life, governor of Memphis and crown prince.
