Senewosret-Ankh (or Sesostris-Ankh, Senusret-Ankh) was High Priest of Ptah in Memphis likely during the time of Sesostris I. Senewosret-Ankh was High Priest of Ptah, Royal Sculptor and Builder.
His mastaba was discovered in 1933 in Lisht. The mastaba is located near the pyramid of Sesostris I. The tomb's superstructure was thoroughly destroyed because the stones had been removed. The tomb was looted in antiquity, but some nice pieces of sculpture were found by the excavators. The walls of the burial chamber were decorated with pyramid texts.[1]
