介绍（中）	女神Nephthys的明亮镀金银色小雕像以精确和优雅的方式制作。篮子标志从她头顶代表她名字的徽章上折断，她的宝座的三个侧面被腐蚀掉。小雕像底座底部的铭文（如下图所示）写道："装饰教堂的Nephthys所说的话是合理的，他为Mereskhonsu提供了生命，繁荣，健康和长寿。象形文字是书法的，甚至颠覆了图像：n符号，通常是复制水波的锯齿形，变成了一条紧密扭曲的丝带;代表通过两个锁扣的门闩的 S 标志被分解为两个不连续的元素。铭文的措辞和女神头后的环显示，小雕像是捐赠用于寺庙的吊坠。在这种情况下，吊坠可能属于Mereskhonsu，她是神圣妻子Shepenwepet II的首席管家Akhamenru的母亲，她本人也被封为Shepenwepet II的伟大追随者。也许她戴着吊坠是为了体现尼弗提斯对神圣妻子的保护。
介绍（英）	The bright gilded silver statuette of the goddess Nephthys is worked with precision and elegance. The basket-sign is broken away from the emblem on top of her head that represents her name, and three sides of her throne are corroded away. An inscription on the underside of the statuette’s base (pictured below) reads: "words spoken by Nephthys, who embellishes the chapels, who gives life, prosperity, health and a long life to Mereskhonsu, justified." The hieroglyphs are calligraphic even to the extent of subverting the images: the n-sign, normally a zigzag replicating waves of water, has become a tightly twisted ribbon; the s-sign, representing a door bolt passing through two catches, is decomposed into two discontinuous elements. The phrasing of the inscription and a loop behind the goddess’s head reveal that the statuette was a pendant donated for use in a temple. In this case, the pendant probably belonged to the Mereskhonsu who was the mother of Akhamenru, Chief Steward of the Divine Wife Shepenwepet II, and who was herself titled a Great Follower of Shepenwepet II. Possibly she wore the pendant in order to embody the protection of Nephthys for the Divine Wife.
