Wosret, Waset, or Wosyet meaning "the powerful female one" was an
Senwosret, or Senusret, means "man of Wosret".[1]
Wosret was rarely depicted, and no
Was "power" sceptre (which was related to her name) upon her head and carrying other weapons such as spears and a bow and arrows.[1]
She was Amun's first wife (John Ray calls her "the theological equivalent of the girl next door"), and was replaced by Mut, although it is possible that Mut is simply a later name for Wosret.[2]
