Werbauba
Werbauba on Sahure's royal hunt relief[1]
Vizier ofEgypt
Tenure	c. 2480 BC
King	Sahure

Werbauba (fl. c. 2480 BC) was anAncient Egyptian official of theFifth Dynasty during the reign ofkingSahure. He had the titles of avizier and was therefore the highest official at the royal court, second only to the king. Werbauba is only known from the reliefs found in themortuary temple of king Sahure atAbusir. In a relief, he is shown behind the king, the first in a row of officials. The whole scene is a representation of a royal hunt, which is now heavily damaged. Werbauba is depicted in the lowest register as the first person. Only his name and three titles are preserved:the one of the curtain,official (z3b) andvizier.^[1] This title combination is typical for anOld Kingdom vizier. It has been argued that this part of the temple was finished at the end of the king's reign, so that Werbauba was in office at the end of Sahure's life and perhaps even beyond, into the reign ofNeferirkare Kakai.^[2]
