only tripartite female wigs

Tripartite female wigs generally tend to disappear in relief and painting after Amenhotep II. No monuments with all women wearing tripartite wigs are attested under Amenhotep III. Several stelae from the time of Thutmose IV feature only tripartite wigs, yet they feature other peculiarities giving away their late date. Hence, monuments with only tripartite wigs and no evidence for a later date are most likely not later than Amenhotep II

Date:

Ahmose - Amenhotep II
