General Wen-djebau-en-djed was a high official under Pharaoh Psusennes I. He was buried in the royal hypogeum at Tanis wearing a gold mask with inlaid eyes and brows, and gold finger covers. Psusennes I revived the use of bronze, a highly valued material, for his own shabtis and those of his family and the high officials of the period. For other shabtis of the same owner see H. D.
