Karomama Meritmut (prenomen: Sitamun Mutemhat) was an ancient Egyptian high priestess, a God's Wife of Amun during the 22nd dynasty.[1]
She is possibly identical with Karomama, a daughter of Pharaoh Osorkon II, who was depicted in the sed-hall of the pharaoh. She followed Henuttawy as high priestess. She is depicted in the Karnak chapel Osiris-Nebankh ('Osiris, Lord of Life'). A bronze statue of hers, which she received from her treasurer Ahentefnakht, is in the Louvre now;[1] a votive statue of Maat she also received from him, was found in Karnak, a stela of hers, her canopic jars and ushabtis are in Berlin.[2] She was followed as God's Wife by Shepenupet I.
