The South African artist Winifred Brunton painted a portrait of this queen during the 1920s.

She appears to have been buried in the Memphite tomb of Horemheb, alongside his first wife Amenia.
•
Some Egyptologists have speculated that Mutnedjemet is identical to Nefertiti's sister Mutbenret.
•
Mutnedjmet died soon after Year 13 of her husband's rule in her mid-40s based on a wine-jar docket found in a burial chamber of Horemheb tomb at Saqqara, in Memphis and a statue and other items of hers found here.

In Michelle Moran's novel, Nefertiti: A Novel, Mutnedjmet is the principal character as the younger sister of Queen Nefertiti.
One theory holds that Mutbenret was the same person as Mutnedjmet the wife of Horemheb, the last ruler of the Eighteenth Dynasty.
