There are no monuments which directly represent 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, 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 genealogy for Ibiaw: Some other monuments datable to this period refer to one or more dignitaries called Ibiaw. Some egyptologists believe that those objects could refer 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 to late 13th dynasty and this poorly attested ruler. • Ibiaw's father may have been the vizier
Sobka called Bebi. 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. ==References==
