• Resumen

  • This article presents two unpublished canopic jars of the Ramesside vizier Iuty kept in the Civico Museo Archeologico, Sezione Egizia, in the Castello Sforzesco, Milan. All other currently known elements of the prosopographical dossier of this rather enigmatic functionary are compiled and discussed. The evidence not only allows the identification of the archaeological provenance of the two canopic jars from tomb no. 1130 in the New Kingdom elite cemetery of Bubastis (Tell Basta) in the Eastern Nile Delta. It also serves as a starting point to assess the available data about this vizier in terms of his tomb, burial equipment and date in more detail. Regarding the latter, a position in the 19th Dynasty is argued for, based mainly on the typology of the vizier’s funerary equipment, including the canopic jars, several shabtis, a model scribal palette and a heart-amulet.
