Ahmose-Sitamun

Ahmose-Sitamun or Sitamun (“Child of the Moon, Daughter of Amun”) was a princess of the early Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt. She was the daughter of Pharaoh Ahmose I. A colossal statue of hers stood before the eighth pylon at Karnak.

Her mummy was found in the Deir el-Bahari cache (DB320) and is today in Cairo, the Egyptian Museum.

Her titles were: "God's Wife; King's Daughter; King's Sister."
