Relief Fragment Depicting a Kneeling Woman - Met Museum Collection

Inventory Number: 36.3.239 New Kingdom, Dynasty 18, ca. 1479–1458 B.C. Location Information: From Egypt, Upper Egypt, Thebes, Sheikh Abd el-Qurna, Tomb of Senenmut (TT 71), statue niche, MMA excavations, 1935–36

Description:

This fragment of relief was part of the decoration of a statue niche in the offering chapel of Senenmut (TT 71). The hieroglyphs above the kneeling woman probably identify her as "his (Senenmut's) beloved sister Ahmose." This reconstruction of the partly missing text is reinforced by the inscription o a wooden Osiris figure dedicated to a woman named Ahmose (36.3.231) that was discovered in the debris below the chapel.
