During the Twenty-First Dynasty, funerary customs of the priesthood of Amun in Thebes were relatively altered due to the socio-political and economic circumstances of that period. The quest for security compelled the priests to use hidden collective tombs with no decorations or inscriptions other than those written on funerary objects. Of these are three papyrus sheaths that once belonged to three priestesses of Amun. Those formerly unpublished statuettes have been particularly intriguing as they were found within the priestesses’ burials in two collective tombs of Deir el-Bahari - the Royal Cache (DB 320), and Bab el-Gusus - and hence belong to a class of objects that has not been sufficiently investigated.

在第二十一王朝时期，底比斯的阿蒙神职人员的丧葬习俗由于当时的社会政治和经济环境而有所改变。对安全的追求迫使祭司们使用隐藏的集体坟墓，除了写在丧葬物品上的装饰或铭文外，没有任何装饰或铭文。其中有三个纸莎草纸鞘，曾经属于阿蒙的三位女祭司。那些以前未发表过的小雕像特别有趣，因为它们是在 Deir el-Bahari 的两个集体坟墓——皇家宝库 (DB 320) 和 Bab el-Gusus 的女祭司墓葬中发现的——因此属于一类物品没有得到充分的调查。
