Yuny

Yuny or Iuny was an official through the reign of Seti I, in the 19th Dynasty, serving as chief scribe of the court,[1] the overseer of priests, and royal steward. His tomb at Deir Durunka, south of Asyut, portrays Yuny as an hereditary prince and a count. A life-sized statue of him was discovered in the tomb of his son. Another statue shows him alone offering a shrine with a figure of Osiris.[2]

Yuny was also the name of a viceroy of Kush.
