Third Intermediate Period Two of the wooden boxes found in the Chamber of Tomb MMA 60 contained small faience "shabti" figures inscribed for the Lady Djedmutesankh.

The other (25.3.17, Box III in the excavation records) was right-side up and half full of shabtis, with the cords that had once held the box closed still present but the seals gone.. Shabti Box and Shabtis of Djedmutesankh. ca. 1000-945 B.C.. Wood. Third Intermediate Period. From Egypt, Upper Egypt, Thebes, Deir e
