Egyptian Museum, Cairo Dynasty XVIII, 1347-1237
B.C.
This
marvelous death mask of excellent workmanship protected the head of
the mummy of Tutankhamun. Further protection was assured by a magic
formula engraved on the shoulders and the back of the mask. The usual Nemes
headdress knotted back at the nape of the neck, is a striped blue-green
imitating lapis lazuli. The Uraeus and vulture head in gold inlaid with
semi-precious stones and colored glass, ornaments the brow.
The
mask’s eyes are made of obsidian and quartz with a touch of red at the
corners: the cosmetic lines and the lids are of inlaid blue glass. The divine
beard, plaited and turned up at the end, is of cloisonné work (colored glass
held in a framework of gold.) The wide necklace collar is formed of rows of
lapis lazuli, quartz, amazonite and colored glass beads attached at each
shoulder to a gold falcon’s head ornamented with obsidian.
This mask presents us with a beautiful albeit
idealized portrait of the young King. Our reproduction is true in color and
beauty to the original with painted gold and color details.
