Heryshef was a Ram-god who was prominent in Middle Egypt at ancient Hnes

Heryshef was a Ram-god who was prominent in Middle Egypt at ancient Hnes (modern Ihnasya el-Medina) on the west bank of the Nile near Beni Suef. His cult apparently, as recorded on the annals inscribed on the Palermo Stone, existed at this location as early as the 1st Dynasty of the Old Kingdom.

A fine miniature gold statuette of Heryshef wearing the "Atef" was found at the temple, which now resides in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. It provides the name of the ruler who lived at Hnes about 734 BC as Peftuaubast when Egypt was invaded by the Nubian King Piye.
