Nefertari offers the nemset jars to Hathor, Selkis and Maat

East wall of the descent Nefertari 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. In this case there are neither the two long golden feathers nor the sun disc. The queen holds two nemset jars in her hands. In front of her is a table with offerings with fruit and vegetables, but no animal parts; on top are two small smoking braziers. In front of Nefertari are three goddesses: Hathor of the West in green with nekhbet, bovine horns, and solar disc, Selkis in red with her emblem on her head, both sitting on a chair and clutching a sceptre was and an ankh. Maat kneeling in a red dress and spread wings closes the group. In front and behind the goddess the queen's cartouches. Next to Maat a djed pillar with human arms holds two was sceptres.
