Background information.

Nefertari - not to be confused with Nefertiti, was the great royal wife of Ramses the Great and was much loved by her Pharaoh. 'Nefer' , the first part of her name, is an individual word that translates into that which is good and/or beautiful.

Never had a Queen been portrayed in such an abundance of sculptural and painterly works as Nefertari. During Egypts' powerful New Kingdom, Nefertari reigned with Ramses over an empire that had brought an ever increasing cultural exchange that vastly influenced the fashions worn in life. Nefertari as portrayed in this carving wears one of the most opulent garments Egypt had yet seen adorn a reigning Queen. This pleated fashion really took off during the reign of Amenhotep the third and the following Amarna period but it reached a peak during the 19th dynasty. A sash trails down from the waist that kept the dress neatly closed.
