Life

Ahmose-Nebetta was likely a daughter of Seqenenre Tao. She may have married her brother Ahmose I, but her sister Ahmose-Nefertari was the Great Royal Wife.
Her titles include King's Daughter and King's Sister. She is named on a statue of a prince Ahmose in the Louvre. Two daughters of Ahhotep I, both named Ahmose, are named and they are thought to represent Ahmose-Nefertari and Ahmose-Nebetta. A statue of a princess at the Louvre identifies her as a king's daughter, as a king's sister and as the daughter of Queen Ahhotep I.
Ahmose-Nebetta is depicted in the tomb of Inherkau which dates to the 20th Dynasty as one of the "Lords of the West". She is shown in the top row behind Ahmose-Tumerisy and in front of Ahmose Sapair.
