Nefertari worshipping seven cows and a bull

On the right, Queen Nefertari is depicted worshipping seven cows and a bull. 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 and surmounted by two long golden feathers in the middle of which is a small sun disk. The queen wears a pearl necklace. On the left two registers show the seven cows and the bull (bottom left) each placed behind a small table for offerings for Nefertari's nourishment. All the animals have names. In the lower register are represented the helms that will help the queen during her navigation among the stars.
