Nefertari offers flax to Ptah

Nefertari offers linen to Ptah, god of the arts and weaving. 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 also wears gold earrings in the shape of a lotus flower. Around her neck is a necklace of pearl bracelets. The queen offers linen in the form of the hieroglyphic sign used for the cloth, much of which is on a table in front of her.
