Kemsit

Kemsit was an ancient Egyptian queen consort, the wife of pharaoh Mentuhotep II of the 11th Dynasty.

Most of them were priestesses of Hathor, so it is possible that they were buried there as part of the goddess's cult, but it is also possible that they were the daughters of nobles the king wanted to keep an eye upon.

[2] The queen was also depicted on reliefs in the funerary temple of her husband Mentuhotep II.

These depictions are today heavily destroyed, but it seems that she appeared in a scene showing a row of royal women.

[3] Kemsit may have been of Nubian origin, as indicated by depictions that show her face as black or dark pink.
