anx.s-n-mw.t
Ranke I, pg. 67, 20
Also known as Ankhesenmout, Anchesenmut
Provenance Bab el Gasus?, Daressy A.- maybe for A.38, see Shabtis
Mistress of the House, Chantress of Amen-Re, the king of the gods
Four sheets belonging to an Ankhesenmut
Length 222 cm (Niwinski), height 34 cm
Ref. no. S.R.IV.528 – JE 95637, Cairo 4, suggested to attribute to Ankhesenmut, Aubert 1998, pg. 58
The four parts of this papyrus seem to belong together and are also side by side in the museum. It seems that the papyrus was cut into several parts and that only four parts are on display. Although I have not found any connection with Ankhesenmut A.38, I would not be surprised if this papyrus also belongs to this lady
In the cabinet of the first sheet, a label states 528 A, corresponding to the last 3 digits of the S.R.-number. Confusingly, Niwinski in his description mentions other titles for this lady so it is not 100% certain that this is the same one
In the Schott archive there are two images, but also no indication of inventory numbers or presumed owner.
When I made a survey of the locations of the papyri (2024) in room 29, it became clear that this is undoubtedly number 4. Prof Niwinski numbered and mapped the papyri box by box. See here the location in Room 29
