Tutankhamen's gold face mask

Tutankhamen's gold face mask


Tutankhamen’s mummy lay within a nest of three coffins, the innermost of solid gold. On the King’s head was this magnificent golden face mask. Tutankhamen died unexpectedly at the age of 18. He is famous mainly because of the discovery in 1922 of his undisturbed burial chamber.
