介绍（中）	Horkhebit是第26王朝早期的"皇家印章持有者、唯一的伴侣、上埃及和下埃及神殿的首席牧师和内阁监督人"。他的坟墓是一个60多英尺深的竖井，埋在沙漠和坚实的石灰岩基岩中，位于晚期墓地，覆盖了塞加拉乔瑟建筑群以东的大部分地区。在竖井底部的一个巨大的平原洞穴中，一个长方形的岩芯被留下来，并被挖空以容纳这具类人石棺。1902年，埃及政府发掘了这座陵墓，石棺里有一具严重腐烂的镀金雪松棺材的残骸，还有一具木乃伊，木乃伊戴着镀金的银面具、金色的手指和脚趾支架，还有许多小护身符。其他的卡诺皮克和沙巴蒂设备伴随着葬礼。这些发现被送往开罗的埃及博物馆，而这具石棺是大都会博物馆从埃及政府购买的石棺是一组有着丰满、方形宽脸、光滑、无表情的身体和略微突出的脚的石棺之一，起源于Memphite地区，当它们的日期可以仔细确定时，可以追溯到Psamtik II统治时期（约公元前595年至589年）到Amasis统治时期（公元前570-526年）。其中一些石棺可能是由同一个作坊生产的；这一个与莱顿的一个非常相似，可以从他的名字中找到阿玛西斯统治时期的数据。从技术上讲，石棺是埃及晚期硬石雕刻的杰作之一。这些经过特殊渲染的下沉浮雕象形文字和人物的内部被留下了粗糙的痕迹，可能是为了被画成绿色。盖子上的长文字来自《亡灵书》。
介绍（英）	Horkhebit was a "Royal Seal Bearer, Sole Companion, Chief Priest of the Shrines of Upper and Lower Egypt, and Overseer of the Cabinet" in early Dynasty 26. His tomb was a great shaft over sixty feet deep sunk into the desert and solid limestone bedrock in the Late Period cemetery that covers most of the area east of the Djoser complex at Saqqara. In a huge plain chamber at the bottom of the shaft, a rectangular rock core was left standing and hollowed out to house this anthropoid sarcophagus. When the tomb was excavated by the Egyptian government in 1902, the sarcophagus contained the remains of a badly decomposed gilded cedar coffin, and a mummy that wore a mask of gilded silver, gold finger and toe stalls, and numerous small amulets. Other canopic and shabti equipment accompanied the burial. The finds went to the Egyptian Museum, Cairo, while this sarcophagus was purchased from the Egyptian government by the Metropolitan Museum. The sarcophagus is one of a group with plump, squarish broad faces, smooth unarticulated bodies, and slightly protruding feet that originate in the Memphite area and date, when their dates can be closely ascertained, to the time from the reign of Psamtik II (ca. 595–589 B.C.) through the reign of Amasis (570-526 B.C.). Several of them may have been produced by the same workshop; this one bears a strong resemblance to one in Leiden datable by his name to the reign of Amasis. Technically the sarcophagus is one of the masterpieces of late Egyptian hard-stone carving. The interiors of the extraordinarily rendered sunk-relief hieroglyphs and figures were left rough and may have been intended to be painted, perhaps in green. The long text on the lid comes from the Book of the Dead.
