Nehmes Bastet[1] or Nehemes-Bastet[2] was an Ancient Egyptian priestess who held the office of "chantress"; she was the daughter of the high priest of Amun.
According to an inscription on her coffin, she was the daughter of Nakhtefmut, the high priest of Amun who held the office of "the Opener of the Doors of Heaven" at Karnak, an important temple during that dynasty.
A wooden stela that accompanied her burial depicts Nehmes Bastet worshiping before a composite deity with attributes of both a sun-god and the god Osiris.

[5][6][7] Her funerary stele and intact coffin containing her wrapped mummy were found sitting on top of a layer of fill at the far end of the chamber.
