Ahmose-Meritamon (17th dynasty)

Ahmose-Meritamon (17th dynasty)

Ahmose-Meritamon (“Child of the Moon, Beloved of Amun”) was a princess of the seventeenth dynasty of Egypt, probably a daughter of Tao II the Brave. Her titles included "King's Daughter" and "King's Sister." She is not to be confused with her niece Ahmose-Meritamon, who became the wife of Amenhotep I.

Her mummy was found in the Deir el-Bahri cache and is now in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
