Nephthys was an Egyptian goddess. She did not receive temple worship until Ptolemalic Roman Egypt. She was the little sister of Isis and Osirus and sister/consort to Seth. She was the mother to Anubis, the Lord of the Dead. She was seen as the "friend of the dead." Her hair was, metaphorically the winding strips of linen that wrapped the mummies. Nephthys and Isis worked together as midwives for laboring women and their chlldren, respectively,Nephthys at the head of the labor bed and Isis at the foot. "Nephthys" was possibly a title meaning "keeper of the house". She was symbolized as a woman with a house and basket on her head.
