Itaweret


Itaweret was an Ancient Egyptian king's daughter who lived in the 12th Dynasty. She is known from her burial next to the pyramid of king Amenemhat II at Dahshur. The burial was found intact and contained a decorated wooden coffin and canopic box with longer religious texts including her name. Some personal adornments were found in the tomb too. The location of the tomb might indicate that she was a daughter of Amenemhat II, but final proof is missing. Remarkable is the wooden statue of a swan found in one of her burial apartments.
