Online The Met Store 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.
