Comments: Fine. One of Boston's Museum of Fine Arts' excellent publications. Queen Mersyankh III was the daughter of Hetepheres II and Prince Kawab, and wife of King Khafre. (The name Mersyankh is often transcribed as "the Living One loves her," but now, the version Meresankh, "she loves life" has been almost universally adopted.) Her tomb was discovered in 1927 by George Reisner, with further excavations undertaken by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and Harvard University. The Museum holds a statue from her tomb of Queen Hetepheres embracing her late daughter Meresankh. The first volume of the Giza Mastabas Series. Pristine throughout. Twenty plates, 14 figures, two multi-paged foldouts. No names or markings of any kind.
