Description: | Wooden figure of the goddess Nephthys, sister of Osiris. She is shown kneeling and raising her right hand in front of her face, a gesture of mourning. Her skin is painted white and her wig or head-dress is blue. She wears a green, ankle-length dress, which leaves her breasts bare.
The hieroglyph on her head, which would normally spell her name, has been lost. The surface of the wood was covered with gesso (plaster) and painted, and much of this has flaked off.
