About the Artwork

Reproduction and colourisation of a scene from the rear panel of the second golden shrine of Tutankhamun, dating to 1324 BC.

The sister goddesses Isis and Nephthys stretch out their protective wings to encircle the dead king. They recite spells that emphasise the rejuvenation and protection of Tutankhamun in the afterlife, whose names are given in cartouches.
