Biography

Peksater was the daughter of King Kashta and Queen Pebatjma. She appears with her husband Piye in a relief in the Amun Temple at Barkal. Piye is dressed as a high priest and officiates before the barque of Amun. Laming and Macadam suggest she was an adopted daughter of Pebatjma.{{cite journal|last1=Dunham|first1=Dows|last2=Macadam|author-link=Dows Dunham|first2=M. F.
