Unique Egyptian king Tutankhamun Mask Ancient Egyptian Antiquities Bc Rare piece. King Tutankhamun's mask is a funerary mask that was found in the tomb of the pharaoh Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. The mask is considered one of the most famous and important artifacts from ancient Egypt. It is believed to have been created during the 18th dynasty, between 1332 BC and 1323 BC.

The discovery of the mask in 1922 by archaeologist Howard Carter caused a worldwide sensation and sparked renewed interest in ancient Egyptian culture. Today, the mask is housed in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo and is considered one of the most iconic and valuable objects in their collection. King Tutankhamun, also known as King Tut, was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh who ruled from around 1332 BC to 1323 BC, during the 18th dynasty of the New Kingdom period. He ascended to the throne at the young age of 9 or 10 and died unexpectedly at the age of 18 or 19, possibly from an infection or injury.

Despite his short reign, King Tutankhamun is one of the most famous pharaohs of ancient Egypt, largely due to the discovery of his intact tomb in the Valley of the Kings by archaeologist Howard Carter in 1922. The discovery of his tomb and the treasures within it provided a wealth of information about the art, culture, and daily life of ancient Egypt. King Tutankhamun's tomb contained a large number of artifacts, including furniture, chariots, jewelry, and even food and wine. The most famous artifact found in the tomb is the funerary mask, made of solid gold, which depicts the likeness of the pharaoh.

Despite his fame, King Tutankhamun was a relatively minor figure in Egyptian history, as he ascended to the throne during a time of political and religious turmoil. His father, Akhenaten, had introduced a new religion that worshiped the sun god Aten, which was later abandoned by his successors. Condition: Good Condition As shown in pictures.
