Chakaure-seneb (from Bubastis) was an ancient Egyptian official of the 19th century BC. BC ( 12th dynasty , time of Sesostris III - Amenemhets III. / Middle Kingdom ). He was the son of a lady named Mut and the mayor and priest of the goddess Bastet of Bubastis in the eastern Nile Delta . Other members of his family are so far unknown.

Chakaure-seneb is known as the owner of a well-preserved high-quality squat figure made of quartzite , which was found in 1961 by Shafik Farid in the palace of the Middle Kingdom of Bubastis, together with two private limestone statues, a cube-like statue ( cube stool ) and a seated figure, each without an inscription has been. It is possible that all three statues served the cult of the dead of the mayors of Bubastis, as the sacrificial tablets found by Ahmed el-Sawi in the palace and the nearby necropolis of the mayors seem to indicate. The statue of Chakaure-seneb was exhibited in the Sharqeya National Museum until 2006 and is currently in the museum magazine.
