Looks at first glance to be presenting the goddesses Wadjet and Nekhbet, the symbols of Upper and Lower Egypt, standing on either side of Osiris. However, the hieroglyphic inscriptions beside them state that they are in fact Isis (next to the vulture) and Nephthys (next to the cobra).
From the Tomb of Tutankhamun. Valley of the Kings, West Thebes. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo.
