The Greenfield Papyrus is a copy of the Book of the Dead for which woman?

The Greenfield Papyrus is a copy of the Book of the Dead made for Nesitanebetashru, an Egyptian priestess and princess of the Twenty-first Dynasty.

The manuscript dates to roughly the 950s–930s BC and records funerary material associated with Nesitanebetashru, daughter of the high priest Pinedjem II and Neskhons. Its texts include hymns, litanies, religious invocations, and illustrations concerning the gods and the afterlife.

At about 37 metres long, it is one of the longest surviving Egyptian papyri. The roll is now divided into 96 pieces and combines hieratic writing, hieroglyphs, and detailed painted scenes. Among them are images of Shu separating Nut, the sky goddess, from Geb, the earth god.

The papyrus was acquired by Herbert Bunce Greenfield around 1880 and donated to the British Museum by his wife, Edith Mary Greenfield, in 1910. The name refers to its modern donor, not its ancient owner—a frequent source of confusion.
