This papyrus painting shows Isis Goddess of love and beauty, leading Queen Nefertari , wife of King Ramses II.
Isis:
The goddess Isis was represented in human form and appears here as a young woman. She wears the crown characteristic of Hathor with whom she is often associated. As queen, and wife of Osiris the mythical first sovereign of Egypt, she wears the frontal bureaus. She is considered the mother of all Pharoahs.
Queen Nefertari:
Nefertari was most likely Ramesses II's first wife when the prince was only fifteen. She provided him with his first male child even prior to his ascending the throne of Egypt. Surely Ramesses II loved Nefertari. From her tomb, we know a number of her other names and titles. They included " Great of Favors; Possessor of Charm, Sweetness and Love; Mistress of Upper and Lower Egypt; The King's Great Wife; Mistress of the Two Lands".
