Amaniastabarqa was a Kushite king of Meroë who ruled 510–487 BCE.[2]
Attestations
He is known by several objects, most of which coming from his pyramid at Nuri (no. 2) which was excavated by a Harvard University-Boston Museum of Fine Arts Expedition in 1917.[3] As a result, many of these items are now in Boston, including ushabtis, pottery, foundation deposits, stone objects and gold artifacts.[4][5] A granite gneiss stela bearing Amaniastabarqa's cartouches, again from Nuri, is now in Boston too (acc. no. 17-2-1910B).[2]
Other artifacts of him are in the Antiquities Museum of Khartoum, noticeably a gold pectoral.[3]
