Abstract<\/p>\n

While clearly recognised as an aspect of the god, Horus, scholars often identify the Iwn- mwt.f <\/i>as a human ritual functionary who is frequently assigned the title \u2018priest.\u2019 The \u00a0 contexts in which representations of the \u00a0Iwn-mwt.f<\/i> survive \u2013 monumental stone reliefs with apparent sacerdotal connotations \u2013 has influenced this interpretation. Nevertheless, the themes depicted on the buildings in question in fact reflect the political ideology of the pharaonic state, particularly as it relates to the office of kingship, not a religious doctrine. The present study focuses on the ideological context of representations in the Theban ritual landscape in which the Iwn-mwt.f<\/i> appears and concludes that the title \u2018priest\u2019 may not be appropriate here because the character is not a servant of the gods, but a visual representation of notions fundamental to the structure of ancient Egyptian kingship.<\/p>\n
