Tabiry

Tabiry (also spelled Tabiri, Taberia) was an Egyptian queen of the 25th Dynasty, wife of Pharaoh Piye (also known as Piankhi).

Very little is known about Tabiry's life beyond her titles and familial connection. She is known from her burial in tomb E.9 in el-Kurru, Sudan. Her titles included "King's Wife," and "King's Sister," indicating a possible familial relationship with Piye beyond marriage, a common practice in ancient Egypt. Her sarcophagus, now in the Khartoum National Museum, is notable for its fine workmanship and detailed decorations, providing valuable insights into the art and funerary practices of the Kushite period. Fragments of canopic jars were also found in her tomb.

Tabiry's existence provides evidence of the importance of royal women in the Kushite Dynasty, who played significant roles in both religious and political spheres.
