Relief fragment with deities

The relief depicts Osiris with the goddesses Isis and Nephthys. His face is green, as befits a god of vegetation, and he wears the atef-crown with ram horns. Behind him stands Nephthys with the vulture headdress which is characteristic for her as well as for other goddesses and also queens. Isis, standing in front of her brother and spouse, greets him.
