Ibiaw or Ibiau was an ancient Egyptian vizier and ''Chief of the town'' (i.e. mayor) during the 13th Dynasty, likely under pharaohs Wahibre Ibiaw and/or Merneferre Ay. ==Attestations== There are no monuments which directly represents him, but he is mentioned as a vizier on three objects: a stele found at Deir el-Bahari and now exhibited in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (22.3.307), another stele found inside the sanctuary of Heqaib at Elephantine,〔Habachi, ''Elephantine IV, The Sanctuary of Heqaib'', Mainz am Rhein 1985, ISBN 3-8053-0496-X, pl. 117a〕 and a statuette probably from the Temple of Osiris at Abydos and now in Bologna (KS 1839). By combining the three monuments, egyptologists were able to realize a geneaology for Ibiaw: Some other monuments datable to this period refers to one or more dignitaries called Ibiaw. Some egyptologists believed that those objects could refers to the namesake vizier in some earlier stages of his career. Such statements would expand Ibiaw's genealogy: *One of the two sons of Ibiaw may have been the vizier Senebhenaf, father of queen Mentuhotep, herself wife of king Djehuti. This association could establish a significant temporal link between kings Ibiaw and Ay of the mid-late 13th dynasty and this poorly attested ruler.〔Habachi (1984) pp. 119-120.〕〔K.S.B. Ryholt, ''The Political Situation in Egypt during the Second Intermediate Period'' (Carsten Niebuhr Institute Publications, vol. 20. Copenhagen: Museum Tusculanum Press, 1997), p. 192.〕 *Ibiaw's father may have been the vizier Sobka called Bebi.〔 *It has even been suggested that vizier Ibiaw later in his life became the namesake king (i.e. Wahibre Ibiaw).〔William C. Hayes, in ''The Cambridge Ancient History'', 1973, vol. II, part I, p. 51ff.〕 However, Wolfram Grajetzki later pointed out that, since there is no monument citing with certainty some of Ibiaw's earlier titles, such identifications are purely conjectural and remain unproven.〔W.
