She was one of four known wives of Senusret III, the other three wereMeretseger,Neferhenut and (possibly)Sithathoriunet.[2] Her name was also a queen's title used in the era:khenemetneferhedjet means “united with the white crown”. She is mentioned on two of her husband's statues (now located in theBritish Museum and in theEgyptian Museum, respectively; the latter was found inHerakleopolis). She was buried in Pyramid IX in theDahshur pyramid complex, where her jewellery was found in 1994.[1]
Her titles were:King's Wife andGreat of Sceptre.[1]
According to researchers, the tomb had been thoroughly plundered by the time it was first excavated, the Queen's mummy completely ransacked for jewelry and badly damaged.[3] Analysis of the body revealed Weret was left-handed and the sharp nasal sills indicated a Caucasoid person. Overall, the remains revealed she lived a life of leisure, virtually free of all physical labor, and lived well into her seventies and was buried in a style befitting her royal status.[3]
