The Statuette of the lady Tiye is a wooden statue of a high-status woman from the reign of Amenhotep III to Akhenaten (ca. 1390–1349 B.C); Dynasty 18 of the New Kingdom of ancient Egypt. Believed to depict a leading servant of the powerful Great Royal Wife Tiye (her superior, with whom she may have shared the same name), her title has been variously translated over the years as "Chief of Weavers"[1] / "Chief of the Household"[2] / "mistress of the harim".[3] It is one of only about 160 wooden statues (80 of them female) discovered from the New Kingdom.[4] It currently resides in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
