NES-AMUN was one of the more than 50 Royal Daughters of Ramses II. In the royal families, the daughters would often have their own palaces or, at least, their own compound within the palace with an extensive staff of attendants. It was not uncommon on the death of the Queen for the oldest daughter to marry the father or, if a brother assumed the throne, to marry his sister, in the traditoin of Osiris and Isis, who were brother and sister as well as husband and wife. Duties for a Princess often included being a priestess of the goddess Hathor. In this reproduction of a wall fragment from the Temple of Abydos, 1317 B.C., Nes-Amun wears an elaaborate wig and a white linen dress while presenting an offering to the Gods. This very beautiful relief is made of painted hydrostone and measures 22" x 39" high. It captures the serenity and grace of the time period in ancient Egypt when art was so majestically produced. Sturdy hanger on back - this piece would enhance any decor where true beauty was being sought.
