The name Nephthys means Lady of the House, and she has a house and cup on her head.

She and her sister Isis were connected with funerals, because they protected the mummy and the god Osiris. On the left, you can see Nephthys and Isis, with Osiris in the centre.

Below, you can see Isis and Nephthys protecting a mummy. They are shown as kites, since they would wail at funerals, and kites make a wailing sound.
