The goddess Nefti

Detail. Nebet Hewt 'Lady of the Palace', as the hieroglyphics on her head define her, Nephthys is an eminently funerary goddess. Sister of Isis and Osiris, sister and wife of Seth and mother of Anubis, it seems that she did not originally play a prominent role within the Egyptian pantheon. In the Osiris myth she helps Isis in the search for and recomposition of Osiris' body.
