The Family of Pa-di-Amun-neb-nesut-tawy from Thebes (TT 414)
revisited provides fresh material about the identity of one of the
key figures of the family that reused the Saite tomb of Ankh-Hor
(TT 414) in the Asasif from the 4th century BCE onwards. It is the
woman Kalutj/Nes-Khonsu, who was previously listed in the
genealogical register of TT 414 as Pa-di-Amun-neb-nesut-tawy's
daughter and wife of one of his sons, Hor. By examining objects
found by the agents of the consuls in the 19th century CE and those
found by the Austrian mission in the 1970s in TT 414 and in wider
Theban contexts, the authors are able to identify
Kalutj/Nes-Khonsu, wife of Hor, as another, until now overlooked
individual, separate from his sister with the same name. The
examination of the funerary assemblage of Kalutj/Nes-Khonsu and of
objects belonging to her husband, daughter and sons reveals not
only details of Late Dynastic and Ptolemaic burial customs in
Thebes but also additional information on the priesthood of Khonsu
and of the sacred baboons in this era. This new identification of a
previously overlooked person, the mistress of the house and
daughter of the first prophet of Amun, Kalutj/Nes-Khonsu (G108 +
G137), demonstrates that the finds from TT 414 are still far from
being processed in their totality. This material has the potential
to provide answers to some of the open questions regarding Late
Dynastic/Ptolemaic Thebes and to contextualise funerary
assemblages.
