A wooden statue of Tuya, the mother of Queen T, who was an important figure of her time and the singer of God Min in the New kingdom
The eighteenth Dynasty, reign of Amenhotep III,1350 BC.
Min is the god of fertility and reproduction, who fertilizes the land to allow the harvest. As we see with her left hand, she holds a large necklace made up of rows of pearls between her breasts called the “Manit” necklace, the symbol of fertility.
It is preserved in the Louvre Museum.
