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.

Mural from the Thracian Tomb of Kazanlak. Kazanlak, Valley of Roses, Bulgaria; 4th century BCE. The Thracian Tomb of Kazanlak is a vaulted brickwork "beehive" (tholos) tomb near the town of Kazanlak, central Bulgaria. The tomb is part of a large Thracian necropolis. It comprises a narrow corridor and a round burial chamber, both decorated with murals representing a Thracian couple at a ritual funeral feast. The monument dates back to the 4th century BCE and has been on the UNESCO protected World Heritage Site list since 1979. The murals are memorable for the splendid horses and especially for the gesture of farewell, in which the seated couple grasp each other's wrists in a moment of tenderness and equality. The paintings are Bulgaria's best-preserved artistic masterpieces from the Hellenistic period. The tomb is situated near the ancient Thracian capital of Seuthopolis.
