This sculpture of a ceremonial boat carried a statue of Queen Mutemwia. Part of the statue's head, shown in the photograph, is also in the British Museum's collection. Mutemwia means 'the goddess Mut in the (sacred) boat'. The back of the statue is carved with vulture wings. Mut is shown as a vulture, so the sculpture is a visual pun on the queen's name.
