Neferperet

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Neferperet was the ancient Egyptian treasurer at the beginning of the 18th Dynasty ( New Kingdom ) under King Ahmose I.

Neferperet appears on two almost identical rock steles in the quarries of el-Maasara (near Cairo , south of Tura ). They date to the 22nd year of the reign of Ahmose I and report on the reopening of the quarries and the quarrying of limestone for the ruler's building projects. The title and name of Neferperet also appear on an alabaster vessel that was in one of the royal tombs of Qatna next to a vessel of Amenemhet III. was found. On this rank titles are given by him, but also the designation of the royal pupil . In the mortuary temple of the Ahmose pyramid in Abydos, stamped seals of Neferperet were finally found, who may have been in charge of the temple's construction. A seal may also have been preserved from Neferperet.
