Amenirdis I, Kashta's daughter, was established as God's Wife of Amun in Thebes. Alabaster and basalt; Late Period (25th Dynasty, Ethiopian). This statue inspired the personage of princess Amneris in Verdi's Opera Aida. The scenario of this opera was written by Mariette pasha who discovered Amenirdis in a small chapel inside the Montu temple at Karnak. She is in the pose and costume traditionally worn by the Divine Votaress, influenced by the iconography of the New Kingdom queens. Amenirdis holds in her left hand a flower insignia which falls gracefully on her breast, and in her other hand a menat collar. The cartouches of the God's Wife are inscribed on the base in front of her right foot.
