About the Artwork
Reproduction based on a small panel found on a golden statue shrine known as a noas found in the treasury room of Tutankhamun’s tomb dating to around 1324 BC.
Tutankhamun is sitting on a lion-footed ebony folding stool and holds a bouquet of lotus flowers and mandrake fruits. He is pouring perfume into the hands of his wife and sister, Ankhesenamun, who holds it close to her nose as if to smell its fragrance.
