Nespaqashuty was the son of the vizier Nespamedu, whom
the annals of the Assyrian King Assurbanipal single out
as "king of [the city of] This". Nespaqashuty
apparently succeeded him but apparently was required to
submit to new masters after the Saite entry into Thebes.
This statue was found as part of the famous Karnak cache
of statues.
