in hieroglyphs

Era: 2nd Intermediate Period
(1650–1550 BC)

Sobekemsaf (sbk-m-z3=f)^[2] was an ancient Egyptian queen of the 17th Dynasty. She was the wife of pharaoh Nubkheperre Intef and sister of an unidentified pharaoh, probably Sekhemre-Heruhirmaat Intef, Sobekemsaf II or Senakhtenre Ahmose.^[3]^[4]

Her name ("Sobek protects him"^[5]) is grammatically masculine. Although a female version of the name (sbk-m-z3=s)^[5] did exist, the queen is named Sobekemsaf in all sources, so it was not an error on the scribe's part, but she was probably named for an ancestor.^[6] Masculine names for females were not uncommon during the Second Intermediate Period.^[7]

Attestations

She is mentioned on a bracelet and a pendant, now both in the British Museum.^[2]

In her family's hometown Edfu she is known from stelae. The first is Cairo CG 34009.^[8] The stela, belonging to an official called Yuf dated to the 18th Dynasty, mentions reconstruction of her tomb.^[9] Another stela, also from Edfu (Cairo JE 16.2.22.23), depicts queen Sobekemsaf along with other relatives;^[1]^[10] the stela names the queen's sister Neferuni and their mother, whose name is lost.

Sobekemsaf's titles were: King's Wife (ḥm.t-nswt), Great Royal Wife (ḥmt-nỉswt wr.t), United with the White Crown (ẖnm.t-nfr-ḥḏ.t), King's Daughter (z3.t-nỉswt), and King's Sister (zn.t-nswt).^[2]
