This is a picture of Userhat, who lived in the reigns of Horemheb of Dynasty 18, as well as Ramses I and Seti I of Dynasty 19. He was the "First Prophet-priest of the Royal 'Ka'-spirit of King Thutmose I," since the earlier Dynasty 18 ruler was still being worshipped as a god. Here we see Userhat elaborately clothed wearing what appears to be a leopard skin over his white linen clothing. One can clearly see the leopard head, claws, and tail but the decoration of the cloth that is supposed to be a panther's skin is in different shapes and colors than would would expect in an actual example. Further, there are cartouches of Seti I the art of the cloth draped over his right arm. This would suggest that it was actually an imitation leopard skin rather a real one. This impressive image was copied from the tomb by Nina de Garis Davies.
