Hatshepsut's Amarna Alabaster Vessel - further information

I've tracked down information relating to the alabaster vessel inscribed for Hatshepsut found at Amarna, which is mentioned in this post.

The Griffith Institute has a link to collections in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. They list the alabaster vessel as:


"El-Amarna. Private Palace. Royal Store-Rooms (P.42.2).
iv.199 Jar of
Hatshepsut, alabaster, in Cairo, Egyptian Museum, JE 57203.
Pendlebury in
JEA
xviii (1932), pl. 19 [3]

From: http://www.griffith.ox.ac.uk/gri/3cairo.pdf Page 764.

This gives room for further research. I will track down further information on this excavation year and the other finds which bare the name of Hatshepsut.

Hatshepsut - Amarna (from Tour Egypt)

Certainly Hatshepsut is not the first name we think of when looking at finds from excavations at Amarna.

The Cairo Museum has at least one item found at Amarna. Its an inscribed Alabaster vessel.

Tour Egypt has a picture of this item, Museum number JE 57203.

If anyone has information on the discovery of this item, or others of Hatshepsut found at Amarna then please feel free to contact me.
