| The hieroglyphic name of Maatkare II |
Maatkare is knew from several sources. Her figurine of which only the base with a pair of feet is maintained (Marseille, Musee Borely no. 432) may be a re-used New Kingdom piece. A statue of the Nile-god - now in the British Museum (BM 8) - was sacred by his son Shoshenq C, and he names his parents as Osorkon I and Maatkare. Maatkare is named the King's Daughter of ... Har-Psusennes II, wanted of Amun. On a statue from the Karnak Cachette (Cairo Museum CG 42194), too dedicated by her son Shoshenq, Maatkare has the titles Prophetess of Hathor, Lady of Dendera, God's Mother of Harsomtus, and King's Girl.
A Karnak inscription on the seventh power pylon names a woman bid Maatkare, King's Daughter of Psusennes Beloved of Amun, and this is commonly though to refer to Maatkare II.
