About the Artwork
Reproduction of the golden death mask of King Tutankhamun, one of the most iconic and captivating artefacts from ancient Egypt.
Crafted during Dynasty 18, around 1323 BC, the intricately detailed mask was discovered in the pharaoh's burial chamber in the Valley of the Kings. The face of the mask represents the young Tutankhamun with delicate features and a serene expression, symbolising the pharaoh's peace in the afterlife.
