The 21cm upper part of the statuette of Henuttawy, the wife of Menna, discovered by Robert Mond during the clearance of the tomb of Menna in the Theban Necropolis of 1550??069?BCE. As the owner of the tomb, Menna is the central character in the chapel??? decorative paintings, with Henuttawy appearing in many of the tomb scenes. Menna was an official and member of ancient Egypt's 矇lite class. His wife Henuttawy was a woman from a more influential family. She herself had the titles of "Chantress of Amun", a position occupied by noble women in the 18th dynasty, and "Mistress of the House", which speaks to her noble birth and indicates she was in possession of property when she married Menna. In Flinders Petrie's analysis of the tomb he noted the damage and defacement of the images of Menna whilst Henuttawy's face is perfectly preserved,. There was no trace of her husband's statue.
