KING TUTANKHAMUN FULL FUNERARY MASK HEIGHT 23" x WIDTH
16"
When you open the box
that this mask comes in You Will Be Amazed.
To Be in the same room
with something of this magnitude and beauty is awe inspiring and
absolutely mind altering. I can easily now imagine how Howard Carter
felt when unvieling the Tutankhamun mummy...
Over 3,000 treasures
were placed in the tomb to help Tutankhamun in his afterlife, and
the walls of the burial chamber were painted with scenes of his
voyage to the afterworld. The chamber contained four gilded shrines,
inside which was a red quartzite sarcophagus containing three nesting
coffins. Tutankhamun's mummy rested in the innermost coffin, which
is made of solid gold and weighs approximately 110.4 kilos (242.9
lbs.). His body was wrapped in linen and over his face was placed
an exquisite
GOLD MASK
Found on the king's
mummified body, the gold mask was the most famous treasure to emerge
from this tomb. The cobra and vulture on the headdress are symbols
of his dominance over upper and lower Egypt. The false beard of
divinity, attached to the chin, is that of Osiris, ruler of the
nertherworld. Engravings on back comprise a spell from the Book
of the Dead. The original mask was of gold inlaid with various precious
stones and glass.
