Mask of King Tutankhamun - Medium | |
|
Egyptian Museum,
Cairo Dynasty XVIII,
1347-1237 B.C.
This marvelous 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.
