What is it about?
Publication of a limestone dyad in the Cairo Museum (BN 104) representing Nebnefer, ‘a wab-aq priest of Amun in Henket-ankh’, and his wife. Stylistically the dyad is probably datable to the reign of Thutmose III, and it also bears his cartouche. Nebnefer’s filiation formula refers to him as 'born of the royal mother’, possibly making him a hitherto unknown brother of Thutmose III. If so, the dyad provides a previously unattested title for Queen Isis, the mother of Thutmose III: wrt xnr aAt (n) Imn. Notwithstanding Nebnefer’s titular association with the temple of Henket-ankh, Greek graffiti scratched on the statue base, published here for the first time, argue for a different provenance for the dyad.
