English: General Wendebauendjed's funerary cups from the tomb of king Psusennes I at Tanis . Wendebauendjed was a general who served under this pharaoh during the 21st dynasty period of Egypt. He had the rare privilege of being interred within Psusennes I's NRT III tomb at Tanis with various jewellery, burial equipment and a fine gold funerary mask.
