QV 66

Queen Nefertari-Merymut

The tomb is entered through a steep Ramp with rock-cut Steps which have been overlaid with modern wood steps both for tourists’ ease of passage and also to protect the worn ancient stone. Handrails were also installed. The entrance is covered by a modern barrel vault made of brick that was built during the Schiaparelli excavations and later extended along the full length of the parapet walls.

This gate provides access to the tomb chambers. In antiquity, floods filled the Ramp and Chamber B with debris almost to the ceiling, causing damage to the gateway. A modern metal gateway was installed to seal the tomb after visiting hours have ended.

Painted decoration appears on the lintel, soffit, and reveals. Notably, the soffit is decorated with a depiction of the akhet comprised of sloping red mountains painted with red dots to add texture, and a partially damaged yellow disc outlined in red couched between the mountains. Flanking the disc are two kites (birds of prey), also painted red, with their heads facing south toward the tomb entryway. The kite on the left-hand side bears the throne hieroglyph on its head which designates it as the goddess Isis. Presumably, the kite on the right-hand side would be Nephthys, but the headdress associated with her does not survive due to damage. The east and west thicknesses are each decorated with a painting of the goddess Mut as a vulture with a Djed-pillar dado. The frieze at the ceiling displays a coiled winged cobra facing south toward the entrance with the accompanying hieroglyphs “given health and dominion”. The cobra frieze, djed dado, and depiction of Mut as a vulture on the east thickness are severely damaged.

Large chamber on axis with the entryway. Rock-cut benches are carved alone the length of the west wall, and along the north wall until Gate C. A large double recess extends the east side of the chamber, leading to Gate Ba. Modern protective wooden walkways and fluorescent lighting were installed.

The decoration on the top register of the west half of the south wall contains one of the best-known scenes in the tomb, showing Nefertari seated facing toward the west wall and playing a game of senet within a vaulted kiosk. To the right of this, Nefertari is depicted as a human-headed ba standing on top of the tomb. To the right of this, Nefertari is shown kneeling with her hands raised in a gesture of worship. The object of her veneration is the depiction of the akhet in the leftmost vignette of the west wall top register. The mountains of the horizon are flanked by two lions beneath the pt-sign, meaning “sky”. A depiction of the Benu bird follows the akhet. Much of what is left of the west wall decoration is taken up by a depiction of Nefertari as a mummy on a bier beneath a canopy. The goddesses Isis and Nephthys appear as kites, with Nephthys in her traditional location at the head and Isis in her traditional position at the feet. To the right, a god representing the Nile and painted black kneels facing the severely damaged vignettes on the right side of the wall. These damaged figures are a personification of “the great green” in front of a shrine followed by a seated falcon.

The north wall upper register vignettes are partially damaged on the left side. The leftmost figure is a recumbent celestial cow, followed by the four Sons of Horus who flank in pairs the Canopic chest. Inside the chest is a recumbent jackal. Facing the canopic chest are two seated mummiform gods, one with a falcon head and the other with a human head. Possibly these are Ra and Shu respectively. Finally, on the right part of the register, facing toward the east, are depictions of seated mummiform gods, four of whom are identified by text. The leftmost god, not identified by text, can only be Horus, as the other deities bear the names of the four Sons of Horus. From left to right they are Duamutef (jackal headed), Qebehsenuef (falcon headed), Hapy (baboon headed), and Imsety (human headed). The text that takes up most of the wall space on the west, south (west side), and north walls includes the text from the Book of the Dead Spell 17. On the south wall, west portion, the dado frieze is decorated with both two djed-pillars and a Tyet-knot. However, the Bench stretching across the west and north walls, and whose top is carved and painted to look like a Cavetto cornice, has niches that are decorated with shrines. The piers are decorated with the Cartouche and “great royal wife” title of Nefertari.

The east portion of Chamber B opens into a double recess which is linked by a narrow gateway into the side chamber (Ba). The east wall proper is decorated on the north side with a depiction of the mummiform Osiris standing within a kiosk, facing south, and flanked by two imyut-fetishes. The decoration on the south side of the east wall continues onto the east side of the south wall, showing Anubis standing behind an enthroned mummiform Osiris, both within an elaborate kiosk. Nefertari is shown on a larger scale, standing on the east side of the south wall and facing Osiris with her hands raised in a gesture of worship. The dado friezes of these areas are bands of black, red, and yellow.

The lintel of the first recess, which takes on the form of a broad gateway, in the east wall is decorated with a seated man in the center who rests each hand upon a circle containing a wedjat eye. On the left side are alternating six uraei and five ostrich feathers; on the right side are alternating five uraei and four ostrich feathers. The south thickness is decorated with a depiction of the goddess Neit, facing toward the west, and the north thickness shows the goddess Serqet. Above each is a Kheker frieze. The text on both walls contains a speech by each respective goddess.

The larger recess west wall on both the north and south sides is decorated with a depiction of Osiris as an anthropomorphized Djed-pillar, composed of human body and djed-pillar head wearing the atef crown. The north wall contains a depiction of Neferari being led by the goddess Isis who is wearing a sun disc and horns headdress and the Menat necklace, regalia more often associated with Hathor. Isis leads Nefertari to the god Kheperi on the north side of the east wall, who sits enthroned with the body of a man and the head of a Scarab beetle. The south wall depicts Horsiese (Horus, son of Isis) leading Nefertari to the south side of the east wall where Ra-Horakhty and Hathor are enthroned facing toward the south. The dado frieze is simply bands of black, red, and yellow, and there is no frieze at the ceiling.

The ceiling throughout the chamber and recesses is decorated with yellow stars on a dark blue background.

The gate is perpendicular to the tomb axis. There is some damage to the painted decoration, but otherwise it is largely intact.

The lintel displays the goddess Nekhbet as a vulture, grasping a shen-sign in each of her talons. Both thicknesses show a depiction of the goddess Ma'at as a woman in a red dress wearing an ostrich feather in her headband. The text in the thicknesses contains a speech made by Ma'at to Nefertari offering her benefic qualities such as health, life, dominion. A Kheker frieze appears at the top of each thickness.

This square-shaped chamber is set perpendicular to the axis of the entrance. There is some damage to the paintings, particularly at the base of the wall, but this damage is minimal. Modern protective wooden walkways and fluorescent lighting were installed.

The lintel, like that of Gate Ba’s east wall, is decorated with a representation of Nekhbet as a vulture bearing two shen-signs. The north side of the west wall is decorated with a depiction of Nefertari facing north and offering linen in the form of the hieroglyph for linen to the standing mummiform figure of Ptah who is represented with green skin. Within a kiosk, Ptah is standing on the hieroglyph signifying Ma'at and is holding was, shen, and Djed-pillar staves. Standing behind Ptah outside the kiosk is a djed-pillar. The entire scene is surmounted by the pt hieroglyph for sky, supported on either end by a Was scepter. The south side of the west wall contains a scene of Isis and Nephthys, identified by their head gear, attending a mummiform deity with the head of a green-skinned ram wearing a sun disc who is standing on a Ma'at platform. The god is a conflation of Osiris and Ra. A yellow horizontal line separates this vignette from a south-facing depiction of Nefertari who raises her hands in a gesture of worship, indicating the scene continues onto the south wall.

The south wall is divided into three horizontal registers surmounted by the pt hieroglyph for sky, supported on either end by a was scepter. The top two registers each feature a row of cows differently patterned cows facing the west wall. The top register contains four cows and the middle register contains three cows and one bull. The lower register contains four steering oars. Together, this scene is a pictorial representation of Spell 148 of the Book of the Dead, but the text itself is not inscribed on the wall. Instead, the text provides the name of each animal, while the oars are identified according to the cardinal directions.

The east wall contains two major scenes, dividing the decoration into two symmetrical parts. On both the far left and far right, Nefertari is shown standing before a large pile of offerings and extending one hand holding aloft the sekhem scepter. The enthroned god on the left is the mummiform, green-skinned Osiris, bearing his traditional insignia of atef crown, crook, and flail. On a table in front of him are the standing mummiform figures of the four Sons of Horus who are all depicted with human heads. The enthroned god on the right side is Atum, appearing as a man with the Double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt, and holding an Ankh and was scepter. A feather fan bifurcates the scene behind each of the gods. The text states that Nefertari is offering to the gods. The entire scene is surmounted by the pt hieroglyph for sky, supported on either end by a was scepter.

The north wall is divided on half with a block of hieroglyphic text on the left side. This text is Spell 94 from the Book of the Dead. To the right of this, Nefertari stands before ibis-headed Thoth who holds an ankh and a was scepter and who is enthroned upon a Ma'at pedestal. Between them is a tall stand on which is placed a scribe’s palette and a frog, which might be a representation of an amulet rather than an actual frog. The entire scene is surmounted by the pt hieroglyph for sky, supported on either end by a Was scepter.

A dado frieze of black, red, and yellow bands appears on all walls. Finally, the ceiling is entirely painted with yellow stars on a dark blue background.

Gate C is situated at the east end of the north wall of Chamber B. The decoration on the reveals and the right-hand thicknesses have significant damage on the lower portion, likely due to flooding that also damaged the decoration in Chamber B.

The reveals are decorated with texts and the Cartouche of Nefertari, and the pt hieroglyph surmounts each band of text. The inner and outer thicknesses of the gate have almost identical decoration. On the outer thicknesses, a Kheker frieze is painted at the top of the wall, and immediately below it is a pt hieroglyph. Nefertari’s name appears in a cartouche, flanked by two was scepters, beside a rearing cobra that faces south, both of which rest upon the nb hieroglyph that is supported by two djed-pillars. The cobra on the right outer thickness wears a Red Crown of Lower Egypt, symbolizing the goddess Wadjet. The cobra on the left outer thickness wears the Double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt, and presumably symbolizes Nekhbet.

References to the political geography of Egypt also appears on the inner thicknesses, which, again, are almost identical. The same cobra and cartouche iconography resting upon a nb hieroglyph appears, with the cobras facing toward north. However, instead of djed-pillars, the ensemble is supported by plants. The right inner thickness contains the papyrus plant, signifying Lower Egypt, while the left inner thickness contains a flowering sedge plant, signifying Upper Egypt. The pt hieroglyph surmounts the decoration, but there is no kheker frieze.

The returns, making up the south wall of Corridor C contain standing figures of Neit on the left and Serqet on the right, each identified by their traditional headgear, and each faces toward the gate entrance. The pt hieroglyph occurs beneath a kheker frieze.

The stairwell is set along an axis that angles eastward from the main entrance, thereby placing the following chambers along an axis that is parallel to but further east of the main entrance. There is some damage to the painted decoration. The stairs have been overlaid with a modern protective wood stairwell and handrails.

The decoration of the stairwell is separated into two parts, divided into an upper part and lower part by recesses in the walls, and the ceiling slopes at an angle, giving the vignettes a triangular shape that is cleverly filled by figures arranged in various positions. On the upper west wall on the top half, within the recess, Nefertari is shown standing, facing north, before a heavily laden offering table, offering nu pots to the enthroned Isis who wears a sun disc and cow horns and holds an Ankh and Was scepter. Behind Isis sits Nephthys, also enthroned, and also holding an ankh and was scepter. Behind Nephthys is Ma'at, depicted in a kneeling position and stretching her two wings forward to envelop Nefertari’s Cartouche. The top half of the upper part of the east wall, within the recess, is an almost identical scene. Again, Nefertari is shown standing in front of an offering table, facing north, and offering two nu pots, this time to the enthroned Hathor who wears cow horns and sun disc. Like the other goddesses, Hathor holds an ankh and was scepter. Enthroned behind Hathor is Serqet, wearing a scorpion on her head and holding an ankh and was scepter. Ma'at also appears, kneeling behind Serqet and enveloping Nefertari’s cartouche with her outstretched wings. The north wall of the recesses each contain an anthropomorphized Djed-pillar, holding a was scepter in each hand. The large blocks of text on the bottom portion of the wall concerns Nefertari’s afterlife, but is not composed of any spells from the Book of the Dead.

The decoration of the lower west and east walls are arranged in three registers, and all figures face south. On the west wall, the upper register displays a winged cobra with many coils, enveloping Nefertari’s cartouche with its wings. In the middle register, Anubis in jackal form reclines on top of a shrine. The text contains an address by Anubis to Nefertari. In the bottom register, Isis appears kneeling on top of the hieroglyph for gold and rests her hands on top of a large shen sign. The text contains an address by Isis to Nefertari. On the east wall, the decoration is almost identical, but badly damaged on the bottom register. The only pictorial difference is Nephthys is the goddess kneeling on the gold sign, resting her hands on a shen sign. The text contains an address by Nephthys to Nefertari. The dado is made up of black, red, and yellow bands.

Lastly, the ceiling is painted with yellow stars on a dark blue background.

The gate is on the off center axis of the stairwell rather than the tomb entryway. There is some damage to the decoration. The walkway from the stairwell continues through the gate into the burial chamber (D).

The lintel is decorated with a depiction of Ma'at, kneeling with her wings outstretched at her sides. The titles and Cartouche of Nefertari fill the space above Ma'at, below a pt sign. Similarly, the reveals also contain Nefertari’s cartouche and titles, surmounted by a pt sign. The soffit is decorated with yellow stars on a dark blue background. The outer and inner thicknesses each have a Kheker frieze at the ceiling and a pt sign just below it. Ma'at, standing facing the south, appears on both outer thicknesses. The text around her indicates she is greeting Nefertari in the afterworld. The inner thicknesses each contain a rearing cobra resting on the nb sign that is supported by two djed-pillars. Each cobra is “holding” a Was scepter and shen sign, while in the space above each cobra’s coils is decorated with an Ankh, Djed-pillar, and was scepter. The cobra on the left inner thickness is Nekhbet and wears the atef crown of Osiris, while the cobra on the right inner thickness is Wadjet and wears the Double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt. The dado frieze is made up of black, red, and yellow bands.

A large slightly rectangular chamber parallel to the axis of the entrance, but off-center. The interior of the chamber is divided in three sections, with the center portion sunken and accessed by three Steps in the south and north sections of the chamber. Steps also ascend to the side chambers; two steps reach side chambers Da and Dc while one step reaches side chamber Db. Benches line the walls with breaks in the gates and canopic niche cut into the middle of the west wall. The Sarcophagus had been placed in the center of the room. Four rectilinear pillars support the roof of the chamber, one on each side of the steps. The decoration is damaged. A modern wooden floor and low barriers were installed, as well as fluorescent lighting.

In many areas of the chamber the decoration is badly damaged. The south wall on the west side depicts Queen Nefertari on the left part of the wall and on a large scale with her hands raised in adoration. On the right part of the wall is a depiction of a gate painted yellow with a red door. This is the first gate appearing in the Book of the Dead Spell 144, the text of which is inscribed on all the walls of the west half of the chamber. Her journey through this portion of the afterlife begins on the southwest wall and runs clockwise around the chamber, terminating at side chamber Db. The figure of a ram-headed male deity, the doorkeeper, stands behind the first gate, holding a branch of leaves and a knife. On the far left side of the west wall, the previous vignette continues with two attendants: a hippopotamus-headed female deity and a human-headed female deity face south and each holds an Ankh. Spell 144 continues onto the west wall to the right of gate Da. The second gate is depicted, followed again by the ram-headed doorkeeper, and then by a lioness-headed goddess with two snakes extending from the top of her head, and a human-headed male deity. The right half of the west wall is mostly damaged, but it shows the third gate and its ram-headed doorkeeper, followed by the fragmentary image of a male deity. The fourth gate should appear on the rightmost portion of the west wall, but it does not survive. However, its attending deities appear on the left side of the north wall. A second antelope-headed male deity with green skin appears behind the doorkeeper, followed by a human-headed male deity. The fifth gate, appearing on the right side of the west half of the north wall is followed by just a ram-headed doorkeeper.

The Book of the Dead Spell 146 begins on the east side of the south wall. Again, Nefertari is shown at the far right facing east with her hands raised in adoration. Almost all of the bottom half of the wall is damaged, but the preserved parts show the presence of two gates, each with a Uraeus frieze. Inside the first gate in the center of the wall is a seated mummiform vulture-headed deity. The second gate is inhabited by a seated mouse-headed mummiform deity. Spell 146 continues onto the east wall, containing six gates. The wall is much better preserved on the south half. The gate (gate three) on the far right of the wall to the left of gate Dc contains a crocodile-headed mummiform deity seated on a Ma'at sign platform and has a knife extending from its knees. The fourth gate contains a bull-headed mummiform deity seated on a Ma'at sign platform and has a knife extending from its knees. The fifth contains a nude female child deity seated on a Ma'at sign platform and she holds two knives crossed over her chest. The final three gates on the left side of the east wall are severely damaged, with only the uraeus frieze surviving of gates seven and eight, and nothing survives of gate nine. Enough of gate six survives to reveal it contains a snake-headed mummiform deity seated on a Ma'at sign platform and has a knife extending from its knees.

The right part of the east side of the north wall contains the last, tenth gate, and the mummiform deity has the head of a crocodile and is seated on a Ma'at sign platform. To the left of this is the culminating scene where Nefertari greets Osiris. Nefertari appears in the center of the wall facing west with her hands raised in adoration. Before her is a table holding mummiform figures of the four Sons of Horus. Enthroned on a Ma'at sign behind this table are the three gods Osiris, who is mummiform and holding the crook and flail, Hathor of the West, and Anubis.

On the west wall, cut into the Bench at the base of the decorated wall, is a niche that may have been used to house Nefertari’s Canopic chest. The south wall of this niche is decorated with mummiform figures, two are the Sons of Horus, Imsety and Qebehsenuef, who is depicted with a human head, followed by Anubis. On the north side of the shrine wall, the mummiform figures are comprised of the other two Sons of Horus, Hapy and Duamutef, followed by Anubis. The rear (west) wall contains a figure of Nut with her wings lowered at her sides.

Four rock-cut pillars support the roof around the sarcophagus part of the chamber. The southwest pillar: on the front (south) is an image of a priest facing east with one arm outstretched. On the right (east) is a depiction of Osiris within a shrine, mummiform and holding the crook and flail, facing south. He is flanked by two imyut-fetishes. The left (west) side shows Nefertari before the goddess Hathor. The rear (north) has a depiction of a Djed-pillar, flanked by the titles and Cartouche of Nefertari.

The southeast pillar: on the front (south) is an image of a priest facing west with one arm outstretched, bent at the elbow. On the left (west) is a depiction of Osiris within a shrine, mummiform and holding the crook and flail, facing south. He is flanked by two imyut-fetishes. The right (east) side shows Nefertari before the goddess Isis. The rear (north) has a depiction of a djed-pillar, flanked by the titles and cartouche of Nefertari.

The northwest pillar: The front (south) has a depiction of a djed-pillar, flanked by the titles and cartouche of Nefertari. On the right (east) is a depiction of Osiris within a shrine, mummiform and holding the crook and flail, facing south. He is flanked by two imyut-fetishes. The left (west) side shows Nefertari before the goddess Isis. The rear (north) side shows Nefertari before the goddess Hathor of the West.

The northeast pillar: The front (south) has a depiction of a djed-pillar, flanked by the titles and cartouche of Nefertari. On the left (west) is a depiction of Osiris within a shrine, mummiform and holding the crook and flail, facing south. He is flanked by two imyut-fetishes. The rear (north) side shows Nefertari before the goddess Isis. The right (east) side shows Nefertari before the god Anubis.

Very little of the decoration on the bottom surfaces of the benches survives. Namely, the east and south walls contain remnants of the frieze, which consist of two djed-pillars alternating with the Tyet-knot. Some text remains on the west surface of the bench on the east side of the burial chamber. On all walls and pillars there is a Kheker frieze, with the exception of the rear decoration on the south pillars and front decoration on the north pillars. The ceiling is decorated with yellow stars on a dark blue background. On all walls above the benches the dado frieze is made up of black, red, and yellow bands.

The gate is set in the south end of the west wall of the Burial Chamber (D). There is damage to the wall paintings.

The decoration on the left outer thickness displays a rearing cobra resting on a nb sign supported by two djed pillars. The cobra, Wadjet, is facing toward the burial chamber and incorrectly wearing the Double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt. An almost identical painting appears on the right outer thickness, but the cobra, Nekhbet, is incorrectly wearing the Red Crown of Lower Egypt. A pt sign surmounts the paintings on both outer thicknesses. The inner thicknesses are inscribed with the Cartouche and titles of Nefertari, and surmounted by a pt sign. The return on the left side features an anthropomorphized Djed-pillar holding a Was scepter in each hand and surmounted by a pt sign. The right-hand return, which is significantly damaged on the bottom, depicts Nefertari in mummiform facing north, accompanied by a was scepter situated in front of her. The scene is surmounted by a pt sign. forming the east wall of The soffit, which is on level with chamber Da, is decorated with yellow stars on a dark blue background. The dado frieze is made up of bands of black, red, and yellow.

This small, square-shaped room is set in the south end of the west wall and perpendicular to the main axis of the tomb. The decoration is largely damaged, particularly on the south and west walls. A modern wooden walkway and barrier rails were installed together with fluorescent lighting.

The right and left side east walls serve as the returns for Gate Da. The return on the left side features an anthropomorphized Djed-pillar holding a Was scepter in each hand and surmounted by a pt sign. The right-hand return, which is significantly damaged on the bottom, depicts Nefertari in mummiform facing north, accompanied by a was scepter situated in front of her, also surmounted by a pt sign. The south wall is the most damaged in the chamber, but, compared with a mirror image on the north wall, reveals three seated mummiform deities with Ankh signs extending from their knees. The leftmost figure is Imsety, followed by Duamutef, two of the Sons of Horus. The rightmost figure is Isis. The north wall is arranged similarly, with Hapy in the rightmost position, followed by Qebehsenuef, the other two of the four Sons of Horus. Nephthys takes the leftmost position. The inscription is a welcoming address to Nefertari. The rear (west) wall is also significantly damaged. The decoration is arranged in four vertical registers, each separated by a column of hieroglyphic text, all within a yellow rectangular background. Above the yellow background is a curved roof that is filled with two coiled winged cobras facing each other. Each register contains a god: ibis-headed Thoth appears on both the far right and left. The other god on the left is Anubis, facing to the right; the other god on the right is Imsety, also facing right. The ceiling is painted with yellow stars on a dark blue background, while the top of each wall is the pt sign. The dado frieze is made up of black, red, and yellow bands.

The gate is set in the rear (north) wall of the Burial Chamber (D). There is severe damage to the wall paintings.

The surviving decoration on the right thickness displays two rearing cobras, Nekhbet and Wadjet, flanking the Cartouche of Nefertari and resting on a nb sign which itself rests on the hieroglyph for gold. Wadjet is facing north and wearing the red crown of Lower Egypt, while Nekhbet faces south and wears the atef crown of Osiris. An almost identical painting appears on the left thickness. Wadjet faces south, wearing the Red Crown of Lower Egypt, and Nekhbet is wearing the Double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt.

A rectangular chamber at the rear of the tomb parallel to the main tomb axis. The room is mostly damaged with very few decorations surviving. The room has a modern wooden walkway and barriers, as well as fluorescent lighting.

Decoration mostly survives on the returns of Gate Db. On the right-hand return is a depiction of Isis. Only Nefertari’s Cartouche is found on the north wall. The east wall contains a procession of deities including Serqet, Anubis, and other deities that are not preserved. On the left return is a depiction of a Djed-pillar flanked by two tyet-knots.

The gate is set in the south end of the east wall of the Burial Chamber (D). There is damage to the wall paintings.

The decoration on the right outer thickness displays a rearing cobra resting on a nb sign supported by two djed-pillars. The cobra, Wadjet, is facing toward the burial chamber and wearing the Double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt. An almost identical painting appears on the left outer thickness, but the cobra, Nekhbet, is wearing the atef crown of Osiris. Each cobra is “holding” a shen sign and Was scepter. A pt sign surmounts the paintings on both outer thicknesses. The inner thicknesses are inscribed with the Cartouche and titles of Nefertari, and surmounted by a pt sign. The heavily damaged return on the right side features an anthropomorphized Djed-pillar holding the crook and flail insignia of Osiris and surmounted by a pt sign. The soffit, which is on level with chamber Dc, is decorated with yellow stars on a dark blue background. The dado frieze is made up of bands of black, red, and yellow.

A square chamber situated on the south end of the east wall of Chamber D, perpendicular to the main tomb axis. The room is mostly damaged with very few decorations surviving. The room has a modern wooden walkway and barriers, as well as fluorescent lighting.

The right and left sides of the west wall serve as the returns for Gate Dc. The return on the right side features an anthropomorphized Djed-pillar holding the crook and flail insignia of Osiris and surmounted by a pt sign. The left-hand return depicts an anthropomorphized djed-pillar also surmounted by a pt sign. The north wall is mostly damaged, but on the left side, the figure of Nefertari is depicted with her hands raised in a gesture of adoration. She stands before an offering table and Hathor who is in the form of a cow as “Mistress of the West”. The east wall is also mostly damaged, but the standing figure of Ma'at with her arms and wings outstretched at her sides. The south wall is the most-preserved. On the right side, Nefertari is shown again, raising her hands in a gesture of adoration. She stands before an offering table which is placed in front of the enthroned figured of Anubis and Isis. The pt sign decorates the top of each wall. The ceiling is decorated with yellow stars on a dark blue background, and the dado frieze is made up of black, red, and yellow bands.
