Maruta, whose name is inscribed on this canopic jar, was a minor wife of Thutmose III. Her name, probably an early form of the name Martha, suggests that she came from western Asia and was probably married to the king for political reasons. Like her contemporaries, Manuwai (18.8.21a, b) and Manhata (18.8.1a, b), Maruta was absorbed into the Egyptian court and, after her death, she was buried according to Egyptian royal custom. In addition to a set of canopic jars, a silver libation vessel (18.8.20a, b) and a heart scarab (26.8.145) are inscribed with her name.Free picture Canopic Jar of Maruta integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
