In the middle is an image of an enshrined Osiris flanked by two imiut-fetishes and topped by a khekher-frieze. To the right is an image of Isis who gives an ankh ('eternal life') to Queen Nefertari (left) who wears a tripartite wig with a modius, vulture headdress, wesekh-collar around her neck, and an elaborate linen gown tied.
