Its decorative motifs and colored scenes showing Nefertari with
long transparent flowing garmets and beautiful jewelry. She is
shown as a thin waisted woman with a beautiful face."

woman was exquisite. Her beauty was flawless. Her long, flowing,
black hair made each male jealous that she belonged to another,
Ramesses the Pharaoh. Nefertari, queen of Egypt, was the loveliest
sight to see."
"Nefertari's
hair length characteristically extends belowher bustline. Nefertari's
hair was always significantly longer than her collar."
"Poetry
written by Ramesses about his dead wife is featured on some
of the walls of her burial chamber. ("My love is unique-no
one can rival her, for she is the most beautiful woman alive.
Just by passing, she has stolen away my heart.")"
"Among
Nefertari's most famous titles is t3w nbw (lady of all lands),
nbt im3t (lady of charm)..." "Ramesses referred to
his beloved wife as "the one for whom the sun shines."
She was also often referred to as Nefertari Merit-en-Mut, meaning
"the Lovely One, Beloved of Mut.""
