| Mask of Tutankhamun Wallhanging Relief; Very Nice New Museum Reproduction of King Tut Mask Cast in Bonded Marble with Gold Finish and Color Detail, approximately 6 in. Tall and 4 in. Wide at the Widest Part. Nemes headdress as in the original.
The original was a marvelous mask of excellent workmanship that protected the head of the mummy of Tutankhamun. Further protection was assured by a magic formula engraved on the shoulders and the back of the mask. The usual Nemes headdress knotted back at the nape of the neck, is a striped blue-green imitating lapis lazuli. The Uraeus and vulture head in gold inlaid with semi-precious stones and colored glass, ornaments the brow. The mask’s eyes are made of obsidian and quartz with a touch of red at the corners: the cosmetic lines and the lids are of inlaid blue glass. The divine beard, plaited and turned up at the end, is of cloisonné work (colored glass held in a framework of gold.) The wide necklace collar is formed of rows of lapis lazuli, quartz, amazonite and colored glass beads attached at each shoulder to a gold falcon’s head ornamented with obsidian. This mask presents us with a beautiful albeit idealized portrait of the young King.
The solid gold mask of King Tut is considered one of the greatest finds in archeological history. It is a defining symbol of the grandeur of ancient Egypt.
