Maatkare is known from several sources. Her statuette, of which only the base with a pair of feet is preserved (Marseille, Musée Borély no. 432[3]) may be a re-used New Kingdom piece.[4] A statue of the Nile-god - now in the
British Museum (BM 8) - was dedicated by her son Shoshenq C, and he lists his parents as
Osorkon I and Maatkare. Maatkare is called the King's Daughter of ... Har-Psusennes II, beloved of
Amun. On a statue from the
Karnak Cachette (
Cairo Museum CG 42194), also dedicated by her son Shoshenq, Maatkare has the titles Prophetess of Hathor, Lady of
Dendera, God's Mother of
Harsomtus, and King's Daughter.[5]
A
Karnak inscription on the seventh pylon names a woman called Maatkare, King's Daughter of Psusennes Beloved of Amun, and this is usually thought to refer to Maatkare B.[5]
