Pair Statue of Nebwaw and His Wife, Tenethet
New Kingdom
Not on view
The statue depicts a man and his wife, each with an arm around the other's back. The faces, hair styles and garments suggest that the statue was curved in the second half of Dynasty 18, probably in the riign of Amenhotep III. On either side of the seat, offering texts are dedicated to a man named Nebwaw and his wifeTenethet by their son, Userhat, who was a scribe and treasurer of the god Amun. Other texts written down the center of each figure's skirt have been erased, suggesting that the statue was originally dedicated to another couple.
This statue is currently on long-term loan to the Museo de las Culturas in Mexico City.
