Detail of Queen Nefertari facing the goddess Hathor

The scene is painted on a pillar of the burial chamber. Nefertari stands in front of Hathor. The queen is dressed in a long semi-transparent tunic, knotted in the middle by a red ribbon. On her head is 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. Around the neck a pearl necklace.
