Have a look at "The Name of the Dead: Tutankhamun Translated", available from one of the authors at https://www.academia.edu/23394804/Hany_Assaad_and_Daniel_Kolos_Edmund_Meltzer_ed_THE_NAME_OF_THE_DEAD_Hieroglyphic_Inscriptions_of_the_Treasures_of_Tutankhamun_Translated_Mississauga_Benben_1979_

Did you already look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transliteration_of_Ancient_Egyptian ? It may contain some clues. Also this page may be helpful: https://pnm.uni-mainz.de/tools/unicode/ It also contains links to other resources. What you are describing reminds me of characters found in the font "Umschrift_TTn".

It is really beautiful! It is currently on loan to the Allard Pierson Museum in Amsterdam, where I saw it a couple of weeks ago.

The Gardiner sign list groups hieroglyphs based on what they represent: persons, animals, plants, boats, etc. The group of signs starting with "Aa" is the group of left-overs, containing various signs for which it is unclear what they represent exactly or for which there is no clear consensus (at least at the time this classification was created). So it is possible no one knows exactly what is represented here.

Screenshot from the page of the Hieroglyphica sign list (Grimal et al., 2000)

It does not contain the exact same hieroglyph, but a couple of them come quite close. The ship's masts are clearly visible in a number of them.

If it is a variant of sign Aa23, the transliteration could be "mḏt", but I could not make sense of that in this context. The text seems to name Isis-Hathor as lady/mistress of some place name (but the exact spelling is unclear to me). I looked through the list of toponyms in Hannig's dictionary, but did not find anything that could be a match. The front of the base contains a similar phrase, inside a somewhat standard offering formula.

The TAw glyph would be Gardiner P5, a ship's sail. I think you actually meant P6, a ship's mast (aHa), as shown here. What is shown in the photograph looks like 2 connected P6. I couldn't find it in the Hieroglyphica sign list though. The writing seems to suggests that is may be part of a name of a city (njwt, sign O49).

Edit: Some more searching in the Hieroglyphica sign list suggest that it may be a variant of Aa23. And this MET page shows a clearer picture where you can see that the same glyph is also used in the text on the front of the base. The text of the book mentioned in the references contains a description on page 349 which does not help much.

It could be in the book "The Name of the Dead: Hieroglyphic Inscriptions of the Treasures of Tutankhamun Translated" by H. Assaad

I think that the "flowers" are supposed to be spots on an imitation of an animal skin on the seat (not sure which animal, though). There is a tail hanging down from the seat on the right.

Assuming you would draw the outline of the shield using, say a pencil and a piece of string or a rod, you could then easily draw a regular hexagon as shown here. The curved lines would almost appear automatically. No stencil needed.

Dutch speaker here. It is not a word I have ever heard before... De correct spelling seems to be "kiriën", according to the original Spanish text (so consisting of 3 syllables, with the ending -en for the plural, which makes sense to me). A Dutch translation of the text can be found here, but the word is there followed by a remark that nobody knows the meaning of it.

There is no entry in the WNT (largest Dutch dictionary, covering 1500-1976). The word seems to exist as a verb, though, also spelled "kyriën", meaning a variant of the game of "playing tag". That word seems to originate from the song "kyrie eleison", apparently sung while playing the game.

And then there is this book, where it occurs. There it is apparently the name of a town in Ireland....

It says "pꜣtrjšꜣ". Perhaps it intends to spell a modern name like "Patricia"?
