Depicted on a colossal statue in Medinet Abu [2] . This 7-meter-high sculpture depicts Amenhotep III and Tiyu sitting on the throne, and their three daughters standing next to them: Henuttaneb in the center, the largest statue and best preserved; Nebet on the right; and on the left is another one whose name is destroyed [3] . Also, the image of Henuttaneb is present in the temple of Soleb , she is mentioned on the carnelian board (with sister Isis ). Her name is on three fragments of faience [2] .
It is unclear whether Henuttaneb was elevated to the rank of queen, like Sitamon and Isis . She is not mentioned anywhere as the king’s wife, but on the mentioned colossus she is called “companion of Horus , who is in his heart”, which is the only title characteristic of the queen. Her name is enclosed in a cartouche , to which only kings and their wives were entitled [1] .
After the death of Amenhotep III, she is not mentioned.
