Goddess Selkis and Nefertari in the act of offering wine

The goddess Selkis is identified by the scorpion on her head from the text. A kheker frieze decorates the top, below it is a dark blue band in the shape of the hieroglyphic pet to indicate the sky. The goddess wears a red dress with thin braces that leave her breasts uncovered. Around her neck is a pearl necklace, bracelets and wristlets. On the right Queen Nefertari 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 and a pearl necklace around her neck. She is depicted in the act of offering jars with wine. In front of her is a table full of food offerings.
