A royal princess, Henttawy was married to
Pinedjem I, the High Priest of Amun who
proclaimed himself king and founded the
Twenty First Dynasty. Henttawy was the
mother of Pseusennes I. Her face had been
stuffed to give a youthful appearance. It
was over-packed and her face burst in
antiquity. This damage has recently been
repaired. Her much damaged mummy was found
in the
Deir el-Bahri cache; the embalmers had
used plaited black string to supplement her
sparse hair. She is thought to have been
around thirty five when she died. Cairo
