Sakeh

Sakeh , also Zakeh , was a high ancient Egyptian official with the titles of Mayor of Memphis and Herald of the King . Memphis was the royal residence during Sakeh's lifetime at the end of the 18th dynasty, making Zakeh one of the most important dignitaries of his time. It is only known from a block of relief, which most likely comes from Saqqara . The block is now in the Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien (inventory number 5816) and shows in the upper register Sakeh in front of a tree from which two arms come out and give him water. In the lower register you can see his head and shoulders, as well as offerings that he was probably sitting in front of. The relief is stylistically classified under Haremhab (ruled around 1319 to 1292 BC).
