Small coffin of King Tut with small King Tut inside | |
|
Egyptian Museum,
Cairo Dynasty XVIII,
1347-1337 B.C.
The mummy of King
Tutankhamun was found
in a gold coffin
placed inside two
larger wooden coffins
richly gilded and
ornamented with semi-
precious stones and
glass. The three
coffins were placed
in a rectangular
quartzite sarcophagus
with a red granite
lid. This
reproduction
represents the middle
coffin. This coffin
is constructed of
wood overlaid with
thick gold foil. The
coffin is shaped as a
mummiform Osiris
figure, arms crossed
on the chest holding
the sacred insignias,
the crook and the
flail. The royal
symbols, uraeus and
vulture, are attached
to the striped nemes
headdress and under
the chin the divine
beard is inlaid with
blue glass imitating
lapis lazuli. The
breast is covered
with a wide collar
richly adorned with
precious stones. On
the wrists, wide
bracelets are inlaid
with jewels. The two
protective goddesses
of Upper and Lower
Egypt, Nekhbet the
vulture and Wadjet
the Cobra with a
bird’s body, embrace
the King’s torso. The
entire surface of the
body was decorated in
rishi – or feathered –
pattern. The
feathers are each
inlaid with jasper-
red, lapis-blue and
turquoise glass.
