Princess of Egypt
Iset or Aset was a Princess of Egypt.
Family Iset was one of the daughters of
ancient Egyptian
pharaoh
Amenhotep III of the
18th Dynasty and his
Great Royal Wife
Tiye . She was a sister of
Akhenaten .
[1] Iset's other brother was Crown Prince
Thutmose I .
Her name is the original Egyptian version of the name
Isis . It is likely she was the royal couple's second daughter (after
Sitamun ). She became her father's wife in Year 34 of Amenhotep's reign, around Amenhotep's second
sed festival .
[2]
She appears in the temple at
Soleb with her parents and her sister
Henuttaneb , and on a
carnelian plaque (now in the
Metropolitan Museum of Art ,
New York City ) with Henuttaneb, before their parents. A box found in
Gurob and a pair of
kohl -tubes probably belonged to her.
[3]
After the death of her father she is not mentioned again.
