Nubian queen
Malaqaye was a Nubian queen with the title king's wife. Her husband was presumed to have been Tantamani. So far she is only known from her burial at Nuri (Nu. 59).[1]
At one time, her burial at Nuri most likely consisted of a pyramid with a chapel and two underground burial chambers. When excavated, the pyramid and chapel were completely gone. There was a staircase going underground leading to two burial chambers that were found to be looted, but still contained substantial part of the original equipment, including a silver mummy mask, many mummy coverings in silverm, and many amulets. The name of the queen was preserved on a heart scarab. Fragments of more than 100 uninscribed shabtis were also found. [2]
