The god Atum

The detail is part of a scene composed of two mirror images but different ones separated in the middle by a fan. In both scenes Nefertari faces a god seated on a throne. 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 and holds the sekhem sceptre in her right hand, a symbol of power and authority. The queen and the god are separated by a pile of offerings on top of which are jars from which smoke comes out. The scene on the right shows the god Atum, solar god of Heliopolis, seated on a throne and dressed in a white kilt and a green tunic. He wears the crown of Upper and Lower Egypt. In his left hand he holds the sceptre was, in his right the symbol of life ankh.
