Siese

Relief from the mastaba of Siese

 in Dahshur; 12th Dynasty, around 1850 BC

 Siese (also Zaaset, son of Isis) was an Ancient Egyptian vizier and treasurer of the Twelfth Dynasty. He was most likely in office under Amenemhat II (about 1929 BC to 1895 BC). Information about Siese is primarily derived from his mastaba excavated by Jacques de Morgan around 1894/95 at Dahshur and rediscovered in 2008 by an Egyptian team. The mastaba was decorated with a palace facade and with scenes showing Siese and his family. Four panels with the image of Siese in front of an offering table were excavated by de Morgan and are now on display in the Egyptian Museum of Cairo. The burial chamber of the tomb is decorated with pyramid texts. On the chamber, he is given the title treasurer.
