Ancient Egyptian: Jꜥḥms-NbtꜢ “Child of Iah (the Moon) - Lady of the Land”) was a princess during the late Seventeenth Dynasty of Egypt. She was probably the daughter of Seqenenre Tao and Queen Ahhotep I. She was the sister of Pharaoh Ahmose I

Life
Ahmose-Nebetta was likely a daughter of Seqenenre Tao.[2] She may have married her brother Ahmose I, but her sister Ahmose-Nefertari was the Great Royal Wife.[1]
Her titles include King's Daughter and King's Sister. She is named on a statue of a prince Ahmose in the Louvre (E 15682). Two daughters of Ahhotep I, both named Ahmose, are named and they are thought to represent Ahmose-Nefertari and Ahmose-Nebetta.[2] A statue of a princess at the Louvre (N 496) identifies her as a king's daughter, as a king's sister and as the daughter of Queen Ahhotep I.[3][4]
Ahmose-Nebetta is depicted in the tomb of Inherkau (
Ahmose-Tumerisy and in front of Ahmose Sapair.[2]
