Khekeret-nisut

Khekeret-nisut is a much debated Ancient Egyptian woman's title. Women with this title are known from the First Intermediate Period, less often from the Middle Kingdom, but again often from the Second Intermediate Period and the New Kingdom. The title is often translated as "lady in waiting" or "king's ornament".
The title holders are most often married women of high status. In the Eleventh Dynasty, some queens of Mentuhotep II had that title. Henry George Fischer translated the title as "ornament of the king" and saw the women with this title as part of the king's harem. Harco Willems argued that the correct translation is "adorner of the king" and argued that they were playing some role in the king's cult.
