The Ancient Egyptian noble Pabasa was chief steward of the God's Wife of Amun Nitocris I during the Saite Period.[1] He is buried in tomb TT279, which is located in the El-Assasif, part of the Theban Necropolis, near Thebes.[2]
His sarcophagus was acquired in Paris in 1836 by Alexander Douglas-Hamilton, 10th Duke of Hamilton and is now housed at the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, Glasgow, Scotland.[3]
One of Pabasa's grandsons was the chief steward and overseer of Upper Egypt Pedubast whose burial was discovered in 2015, located within the tomb TT391 at El-Assasif.[4]
