Description
The full-length figure of King luput II wears a “helmet,” necklace and tunic that is knotted over the left shoulder. A cartouche is carved on either side of his head. The complete cartouche reads Amen-mer-sa-Bast, Iuput II. The second mutilated cartouche reads Ra-ma. The complete inscription, Amen-mer-sa-Bast, Iuput II (son of Bastet), suggests Iuput’s dynastic affiliations during the overlapping XXII and XXIII Dynasties.
