A priest in the temple of the god Montu, Pediamonet lived during the reign of King Takelot II. His father was the Vizier Nesipakashuty. A wooden box containing the four 'canopic' jars, which held the internal organs after mummification, belonging to Pediamonet, were found beneath the pavement of the temple of Queen Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahri.
