The western walls show Nefertari's passage through the gates of Chapter 144 of the Book of the Dead. Each gate (shown as a red rectangle surrounded by an ochre framing) is followed by the three named attendants, identified as male or female by the color of the skin (red-brown for males, pale skin-tone for females). Each group consists of two animal-headed and one human-headed attendants: the doorkeeper, who holds a leafy branch in the right hand and a knife in the other; the guardian, who holds a knife in each hand; and the herald or announcer, who holds an ankh in each hand. Nefertari must speak the name of each gate and the name of each attendant, in order to be able to pass through.
