Iynefer I

Iynefer (i(i)-nfr, “the beautiful/good one has come”; : [iːjnɛfɛr]) was a fourth dynasty ancient Egyptian prince, a son of Pharaoh Sneferu. He was thus a brother of Nefertkau I and Khufu and his title was “King’s Son”.

Iynefer had a tomb in Dahshur, and parts of the tomb are now located in the Egyptian Museum. In contrast with the whish of nobles in the Third Dynasty, many nobles during Sneferu’s time appear in relief with a particularly youthful and pleasant demeanor, and Iynefer is one of them.
