Ancient Egyptian prince
An offering niche of Iynefer from Dahshur, now in Egyptian Museum
Iynefer [ 1] (i(i)-nfr ,[ 2] “the beautiful/good one has come”) was a Fourth Dynasty ancient Egyptian prince , a son of Pharaoh Sneferu .[ 3] [ 4] [ 5] He was thus a brother of Nefertkau I [ 6] and Khufu [ 7] [ 8] and his title was “King’s Son”.
Iynefer had a tomb in Dahshur , and parts of the tomb are now located in the Egyptian Museum . In contrast with the wish of nobles in the Third Dynasty , many nobles during Sneferu’s time appear in relief with a particularly youthful and pleasant demeanor, and Iynefer is one of them.[ 9]
