Isis and Nephthys protect a mummiform god with a ram's head

A ram-headed mummiform god presided over by Isis and Nephthys. He is wrapped in white bandages with a long red sash. He wears a wide collar and a tripartite black wig. His skin is green like Osiris'. Between the ram's horns is a sun disk. On the right a short text identifies him as 'Ra'. Thus the god represents the deep connection between Ra and Osiris. On the left is the goddess Neftis, on the right Isis, both identified by the symbols above their heads. They wear a white wig with a red ribbon, a red robe with a long white ribbon tied around the breast. Behind Isis are emblems of protection. In front of both goddesses two columns identify Ra-Osiris. The scene is separated by a golden line from Queen Nefertari, depicted on the left in an adoring attitude. 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. Around her neck is a pearl necklace. The whole scene is surmounted by the symbol of heaven.
