N 11 (there named 'T[ne]yi') as performing rituals for his mother, suggesting that the queen buried there is Adikhalamani's wife and thus Nahirqo.

[1] Nahirqo has also been identified with a Kushite queen regnant depicted on a double statue,[1] probably originating from a mortuary cult temple in Meroë.

It is possible that Nahirqo took the throne either on behalf of another heir who was too young to rule, or that she became queen regnant due to Tabirqo's premature death.

N 11 and the double statue attributed to Nahirqo represent a woman who is wearing the royal attire and crown otherwise associated only with kings.

[7] The Fontes Historiae Nubiorum offers an alternate interpretation, suggesting that the man was an earlier crown prince who died before becoming king and whose rights were then vindicated by the queen.
