Relief of Khaemwaset Prince Khaemwaset, the fourth son of Ramesses II, showed a greater inclination for religious and intellectual pursuits than for the military adventures of his father. He built at least one tomb for himself, laid out and elaborately decorated in the underground burial vaults of the Apis bull, the animal sacred to the Memphite god Ptah. In this relief, which mayor may not come from that tomb, he is depicted bearing a libation vessel and sporting the sidelock of a sem-priest, a functionary of Ptah.
