QV60 is the tomb of Nebettawy, the daughter and Great Wife of Ramesses II, in Egypt’s Valley of the Queens. Champollion and Lepsius mentioned it and later excavated it by Ernesto Schiaparelli (the director of the Egyptian Museum in Turin).
Lepsius gives a short description of this tomb. In his list, this is tomb number 6.
Tomb QV60 Description
This tomb was transformed into a chapel during the Coptic period.
On the left wall of the first chamber, 41 judges are depicted, each with a feather on their head. Nebettawy offers a statue of Maat to a seated figure whose headdress is topped with two feathers. In the second chamber, Nebettawy is shown before Horus. She has the most elaborate titles: The Osiris, the King’s Daughter, Great Royal Wife, Lady of the Two Lands, and Mistress of Upper and Lower Egypt.
In one of the scenes, Nebettawy wears a unique headdress: a vulture crown with uraeus, topped by a modius and supporting several flowers. This specific headdress is only attested for Queen Nebettawy, Queen Isis (QV51 – time of Ramesses III–Ramesses IV) and Queen Tyti (QV52 – 20th dynasty). Princess Queen Sitamun, the daughter-wife of Amenhotep III, wore an earlier version of this crown.
