Nesitanebetashru^[1]
in hieroglyphs

Era: 3rd Intermediate Period
(1069–664 BC)

Nesitanebetashru (ns-t3-nb.t-ỉšrw) was the name of two ancient Egyptian women. The name means “belonging to the lady of the ashru”; the ashru or isheru was a crescent-shaped sacred lake around the temples of solar goddesses, here it refers to Mut.

21st Dynasty

Nesitanebetashru of the 21st dynasty was a daughter of Pinedjem II, High Priest of Amun, and Neskhons. She is mentioned in the funerary text of her mother, written on a wooden tablet. Her mummy, coffins and ushabtis were found in the tomb TT320 and are now in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.^[2]

Her funeral text, known as the Greenfield papyrus, is one of the longest on record. It is held in the collections of the British Museum.^[3]

22nd Dynasty

Nesitanebetashru of the 22nd dynasty was the wife of High Priest of Amun, Shoshenq and the mother of Pharaoh Harsiese A. She was also a Chantress of Amun. She is mentioned on a statue of Bes.^[4] Her husband was previously thought to be identical with Pharaoh Shoshenq II.^[5]
