|
Valley of the Queens,
Luxor, Egypt. Dynasty
XIX, 1270 B.C.
The tomb of
Nefertari, from which
this wall fragment
comes, is the largest
architectural and
decorative enterprise
ever dedicated to a
Pharaoh’s wife.
Nefertari was the
chief Queen and
favorite wife of
Ramses II. The name
Nefertari means “the
most beautiful of
them”. Ramses II
devoted the minor
temple of Abu Simbel
to the Goddess Hathor
and dedicated it to
Nefertari.
There,identified with
the Goddess,
Nefertari intensely
participated in the
divine cult.
Nefertari gave Ramses
II his firstborn son
as well as three
other sons and two
daughters. Nefertari
died in her forties.
Nefertari is standing
with arms raised in
signal of adoration
towards an altar
where Osiris is
seated and Anubis is
standing. The Queen,
dressed in white
ceremonial garb,
wears the crown with
the vulture headdress
of Nekhbet, the
protective Goddess of
Upper Egypt.
