Tutankhamun’s Golden Mask - Iconic Ancient Egyptian Burial Artifact #93078 (License: Personal Use)

This meticulously crafted solid gold mask, weighing over 10 kg, features a striped nemes headdress in lapis lazuli and gold, a false beard symbolizing Osiris, and precious stone inlays-including quartz for the eyes and obsidian for the pupils. Created during the New Kingdom’s 18th Dynasty, it was placed over the pharaoh’s mummified head to protect and deify him in the afterlife. Its serene expression and symbolic iconography reflect ancient Egyptian beliefs about resurrection and divine kingship.
