Menkhet

quotes

(top two from osirisnet nefertari)

The ceiling of the antechamber, like all of the other ceilings in the tomb, was painted deep blue and spangled with yellow stars, evoking the heavenly sky. At the upper edge of all four walls is a frieze of three different rustic designs, the top one being separated from the two below by a narrow white stripe.

On this north side of the west wall (seen by having turned left on entering), Nefertari is shown making an offering of linen to Ptah. He was the creator god of weaving and crafts.
Nefertari is dressed as on the previous occasions: white transparent dress, tied with a long red sash, and wearing the feather-topped Nekhbet headdress. The linen which she offers is in the shape of the hieroglyph for clothing, "Menkhet" more of them stand on a table in front of her. The text above the table states: "Giving cloth to the Lord of Truth (= Ptah) on the sacred land". Isis and Nephtys were supposed to have woven fine linen cloth for Osiris, which was also considered an important staple for the afterlife, hence its importance in the funerary context. "The manner in which the queen here presents the hieroglyph for clothing rather than a pictorial representation of actual garments is typical of the depiction of the offering presentation of a number of items and underscores the hieroglyphic nature of Egyptian representational forms in this context (Wilkinson) ".

(the thing looking like a vase, and thought a vase...I was under the influence of a youtube vlog...is actually the counterweight with connecting beaded(?) strings-the whole thing is a necklace/pectoral...curious though, and noted by a youtube vlogger, is the Hathors with temple on top is a match for the pillared columns of Dendera temple...Hathor depicted this way lots of places/times-my note)
