Context (Amendments / updates)
Glenn Janes has identified parallels in the Petrie Museum, London (UC 38075, 40056-40058). According to Petrie, Tjes-heren (he writes Thestheren) was a Libyan princess (Shabtis, 1935, p. 15, p. XLI [nos. 485-488]). There are 2 more in a Belgian private collection, and there is another in Prague (Holzmeister Collection).
