Zatipy

Zatipy (daughter of Ipy) was an ancient Egyptian woman who lived around 2000 BC at the beginning of the 12th Dynasty under king Amenemhat I.

Zatipy is depicted in the tomb of her husband at Beni Hasan.

She was member of the elite (iryt-pat), wife of the ruler and lady of the house.

It was therefore proposed that Zatipy came from a royal or highly important family.

[2] If she was a princess, king Amenemhat I might have tried with this marriage to keep close ties to an important local family.
