Collage of three sides of the two of the rectangular pillars in the burial chamber of the tomb of Queen Nefertari (QV 66) perhaps photographed during excavations. To the left is an image of Hathor who embraces Queen Nefertari (right) wearing a tripartite wig with a modius, vulture headdress, wesekh-collar around her neck, and an elaborate linen gown tied at the waste. In the middle is an image of an enshrined Osiris flanked by two imiut-fetishes and topped by a khekher-frieze. To the right is an image of Isis who gives an ankh ('eternal life') to Queen Nefertari (left) who wears a tripartite wig with a modius, vulture headdress, wesekh-collar around her neck, and an elaborate linen gown tied.
