Book of the Dead for the Chantress of Amun Nauny - Met Museum Collection

Inventory Number: 30.3.31 Third Intermediate Period, Dynasty 21, ca. 1050 B.C. Location Information: From Egypt, Upper Egypt, Thebes, Deir el-Bahri, Tomb of Meritamun (TT 358, MMA 65), burial of Nauny, first corridor, inside Osiris figure, MMA excavations, 1928–29

Description:

This papyrus was part of the burial of Nauny, a Chantress of the god Amun-Re who died in her seventies. She also bore the title "king's daughter," which probably means that she was a child of the High Priest of Amun and titular king of the Theban area, Painedjem I.

On the papyrus are images and texts from a number of spells. The central scene illustrates Spell 125, better known as the Judgment of Osiris or The Weighing of the Heart. Nauny is in the Hall of Judgment. (...) Behind Nauny stands the goddess Isis, both wife and sister of Osiris. She is identified by the hieroglyph above her head.

Statue of Ankhemtenenet - Met Museum Collection

Inventory Number: 07.228.47 Third Intermediate Period–Late Period, Dynasty 25–26, ca. 743–656 B.C. Location Information: From Egypt, Memphite Region, Memphis (Mit Rahina)

Description:

Ankhemtenenet's bold features testify to the period's affinity for earlier non-idealizing models, in this case in the region of Memphis where Old and Middle Kingdom statuary was widely observable.

Ankhemtenenet is wrapped in a Middle Kingdom-type cloak. His name is written on his shoulders. Below it on the right shoulder is the name Irefaaenptah, which could be that of his father. A reference to the temple of Ptah appears on his left shoulder below his name, and on the back of the statue appear two lines of an offering formula for Ptah-Sokar.
