Malewiebamani was a Kushite King of Meroë.
Prenomen: Kheperkare ("Re is one whose ka is manifest")
Nomen: Malewiebamani
Malewiebamani's mother was likely Queen Saka'aye. Malewiebamani was the son of either Nasakhma or Siaspiqa.
Amanineteyerike and Baskakeren are thought to be sons of Malewiebamani.[1]
Malewiebamani succeeded Nasakhma and in turn was succeeded by Talakhamani, who could be either a son or a younger brother of Malewiebamani.[1][2]
A Royal wife named Akhrasan from the time of Malewiebamani was buried at Nuri. Her relation to the king is not known.[1]
Malewiebamani's name is known from a Shawabti and from intrusive items from pyramid Nuri 16 bearing his name. On the dedication stela of Aspelta, a private name occurs which is very similar to Malewiebamani's name. His nomen appears at Kawa.[1]
