| Résumé: | Among the objects found within Tomb VII discovered in 2009 at Tell Mišrife/Qaṭna, one Egyptian stone vessel with a hieroglyphic inscription was recovered. The inscription on the stone vessel references an Egyptian princess with the name of Itakayet, a name apparently attested for several princesses of the 12th Dynasty (Middle Kingdom). The present article concerns the hieroglyphic inscription of the vessel, the princess' identity and the chronological implications pertaining to the vessel's possible dispatch to the northern Levant and ultimately Qaṭna. Additionally, Egyptian finds from the site of Qaṭna, especially the famous "Sphinx of Ita" found by Robert Comte Du Mesnil du Buisson within the debris of the Bronze Age palace in 1927, as well as Egyptian objects from other northern Levantine sites will be briefly discussed in order to shed more light on the function of these imports within the cultural sphere of the northern Levant during the 2nd millennium BC. |
