Sacred boat of Queen Mutemwia

18th Dynasty, about 1400 BC

From Thebes, Temple of Karnak

 

This sculpture of a ceremonial boat carried a statue of Queen Mutemwia, Part of the statue's head, shown in the photograph, is also in the British Museum's collection.

Mutemwia means 'the goddess Mut in the (sacred) boat'. The back of teh statue is carved with vulture wings. Mut is shown as a vulture, so the sculpture is a visual pun on the queen's name
