The Breath of Life Wall Relief | |
|
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.
Here, Nefertari
receives the breath
of life from Isis,
the Mother Goddess.
