She is so far only known from one stela found at Abydos that is today in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.[1] The stela dates most likely to the 13th Dynasty and belongs to the commander of the ruler's crew {3tw n tt hq3} Nedjesankh/Iu. His wife was the king's daughterHatshepsut. The text states that the latter was born to the king's wife Nofret. Not much can be said about her. Her royal husband is not yet identified.[2]
At Dahshur, a pyramid of King's Daughter Hatshepsut has been associated with king Ameny Qemau, making Nofret a possible wife of this king.[3] If her husband and daughter were buried at Dahshur, it is likely she also was buried at this location.[citation needed]
