Model Jar from a Foundation Deposit ca. 1479–1425 B.C.New Kingdom
This
model ointment is from one of the foundation deposits that were placed
in front of the entrance of KV 42 in the Valley of the Kings. The
inscription identifies the tomb's owner as Queen Hatshepsut-Merytre,
principal wife of Thutmose III, whose tomb was located nearby. The
inscription painted on the side begins with the title King's Great Wife
(principal queen) followed by her name, bracketed by an abbreviated
cartouche, and ends with the standard funerary epithet "true of voice"
(justified). Another model ointment jar and a model dish from the KV 42 foundation deposits are also in the collection.
