- Abstract
The priestesses known as the god's wives of Amun were quite important during some periods of the Egyptian history. They had various shabtis, statuettes that replaced them in the agrarian works in the afterlife. Some of them, belonging to foreign domination periods of Egypt, had characteristics from the archaism - understood as a way of legitimation of the foreign kings. Through the concepts of materiality and identity, this article analyzes four shabtis of god's wives from the XXII and XXV dynasties to understand how they disconnect from a simple legitimation process and how they are important to comprehend the status of these priestesses.
