Not big expectations, but good feeling after visit. Egyptian art section in this very nice museum is relatively small. Anyway I found some interesting objects from there. Probably somebody can correct me, when I am wrong, but here is my founding.

Pedubast I (Pedibastet) was first pharaoh of 23. dynasty. In Lisbon museum it was first time, when I found his cartouches

On this object there there are three different cartouches.

First from these has no much problems to say that it belongs to Pedubastet I (818-793).

Second one is not quite the same I can find in literature, but still similar.

There was another object, for what was defined, that it is relief of priest Amaneminet.

Next to him there is cartouche of Thutmose III. This leads us to the son of him.

There are now two possibilities: Amenemhat, who was son from wife Sitiah or Amenhotep II from wife Meryetre.

When there is written "priest" it leads us to the older son from Sitiah, who unfortunately not survived to be finally as pharaoh.
