Nefertari as ba bird and worshipping Atum
The ba is depicted above a building and is followed by the kneeling queen in the act of worshipping the Atum in the form of the sign akhet, i.e. the horizon with a rising sun supported here by two lions. The queen is dressed in a long, semi-transparent tunic, knotted in the middle by a red ribbon. On her head she wears the Nekhbet headdress, exclusive to royal women and goddesses, consisting of the Nekhbet vulture clutching the shenu symbol of eternity, a golden crown for the great wives of the pharaohs. The queen also wears gold earrings in the shape of a lotus flower, a pearl necklace and bracelets. On her feet is a pair of sandals.
