Like their predecessors, the kings of the 25th Dynasty appointed princesses as wives of the god Amun. Shepenupet II, daughter of King Piye and sister of King Taharqo, achieved nearly regal status, as reflected in the Berlin sphinx. Her father’s name often accompanies her names and titles, which appear in various locations on the statue. She presents a vessel with a ram’s head on the lid, an image of the god Amun.
