Queen Nefertari Making Offerings to the God Ptah

​In this scene from the west wall of the first eastern annexe, Nefertari is making offerings of linen to the god Ptah, the creator god of weaving and crafts. Whilst it does not feature in the Book of the Dead, this depiction was included to ensure Nefertari would be well provisioned in the afterlife, with the blessing of the god.
