Summary
[edit]DescriptionIsetemkheb B’s Funerary Baldachin B.jpg |
This photo shows the funerary baldachin of Princess Isetemkheb II or Isetemkheb B here on wikipedia, c.1046-37 BCE which is currently located in the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Cairo. She was the daughter of the army general and High Priest of Amun Masaharta and the chantress of Amun "Tayuheret" and the granddaughter of Pinudjem I who was the defacto ruler of Upper Egypt during the early years of the 21st Dynasty. The Ancient Egyptians created tents made of mats, leather and thick linen cloth as a temporary means of residence since the pre-dynastic period. The Egyptians used tents in hunting trips and military campaigns or as a temporary residence for the statues of their traditional gods in religious processions. Moreover, tents were also set up in the gardens and courtyards of houses for housewives during the last stages of pregnancy and childbirth. Occasionally, tents and pavillons were made of fine linen by the lakes and gardens of the palaces as a place for recreation and leisure on the hot summer days. Furthermore, the Nobles and wealthy people used to set up a private baldachin made of mats or leather in front of their tombs for the purification rites, and it was buried with the deceased later. When Émile Brugsch and Ahmed Kamal cleared the Deir el-Bahari cache (TT 320) in 1881, Brugsch found this unique tent in one of its corridors which still preserved its bright colors since it was made entirely of appliqué colored leather, and decorated with carefully cut-out leather ornaments and texts fixed on a different color piece of leather. These texts describe the pleasant companionship that joins "Isetemkheb II/B with the god Khonsu Lord of Thebes, goddess Mut and the deities of the other world amid the scent of flowers and perfumes that came from Punt. Noteworthy, this is only surviving tent from ancient Egypt until now. The tent was made between 1046-1037 BCE for the funerary purification of "Isetenkheb Il"/Isetemkheb B who notably held the title of "the superior of the Harem of Min, Horus, and Isis in Akhmin" and was one of several princesses who bore this name in her family. |
