Image: QV66 Khepri Tomb of Nefertari entrance

Description: Tomb of Nefertari, vestibule east wall Khepri, who has the head of a scarab beetle, sits on a very colourful square-shaped throne. He wears a short white kilt with a gold and pleated overlaid section and a green tunic with shoulder straps. He holds a was-sceptre in his right hand and an ankh in his left. In front of his knees hangs an extremely colourful artificial tail which would have been attached to his belt. Into this belt is a small 'tiet' symbol, the Isis knot.

The text surrounding him names him as: "Khepri, who resides in his boat, the Great God". In front of him are his words to Nefertari: "Spok 'I give to you eternity like Ra'; 'I give to you the appearance of Ra in heaven'; 'I give to you a place in the sacred land' ".
