Hornite

Hornit (also Ḥarnit or Harnet , actually "Hernit") was a prince of the ancient Egyptian 4th dynasty and a son of King ( Pharaoh ) Radjedef ; his mother is unknown.

Hornit is only known from two incompletely preserved statues, which come from his father's pyramid district in Abu Roasch and were discovered by Émile Chassinat during excavations at the beginning of the 20th century. The first is the lower part of a red granite scribe statue with a limestone base . Both parts are now in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo (inventory number Cairo 5.11.24.16). Another limestone statue base is now in the Louvre in Paris (inventory number E 12630).
