Queen Ahmes-Nefetari was the first Queen of the 18th Dynasty, arguably Egypt’s most illustrious ruling period. She was the wife of Ahmose I, and perhaps more significantly the mother of the great pharaoh Amenhotep I. It is believed that she served as queen regent during the early years of her son’s 21 year reign. After their deaths, both mother and son were deified. Interestingly, the present example dates to the Ramesside period (the 19th-20th dynasties), at least 200 years after Amenhotep’s death. It likely comes from the town of Deir-el Medina, the village that was home to home to the artisans who constructed the tombs in the Valley of the Kings during the 18th-20th dynasties. A temple to Ahmes-Nefertari and Amenhotep I exists in Deir el-Medina, where the two were worshipped as patrons to these hardworking craftsmen.
