Life

King's Daughter

Sebat had the title: king's daughter of his body. She is so far only attested on the back slab of a statue base found at Serabit el-Khadim on Sinai.[1] The statues are now lost but once depicted a falcon, king Amenemhat I and king Senusret I. The inscription mentions at the top Amenemhat II and in a lower register Senusret I, the king's daughter Sebat, the king's wife Neferu, Amenemhat I and again Senusret I.[2] From this evidence it seems clear that Sebat was the daughter of Senusret I and Neferu and the sister of Amenemhat II.[3][1]
