Menumes (jeweler)
Menumes was an ancient Egyptian jeweler who lived in the 19th Dynasty (1292–1186 / 85 BC).
Menumes is known from an inscription on a leather fragment, on which he is mentioned alongside his professional colleagues Bakenurner , Chaiemipat and Peter . The text does not allow more precise conclusions to be drawn about a more precise localization of the jewelers. It is a list of private property that is now kept in the Louvre in Paris ( fragment number C ).
