Siese the Younger was the Superintendent of the Granary during the reign of Ramesses II and Merenptah.[1] Siese and his family came from Asyut.[2]

A statue depicting the god Wepwawet on one side and the goddess Isis-Hathor on the other, was found in 1913 and may have come from Siese's tomb.[1] The text on the rear surface states that Siese is the son of Qeni and the grandson of Siese the Elder.[3]
