The boy pharaoh King Tutankhamun ruled Egypt for a very short time (New Kingdom, Dynasty 18, 1336/5-1327 BC) but his legacy lives on. The stunning sarcophagus and death mask are probably the most famous works of art from the boy-king Tutankhamens tomb. Discovered in 1922 by Howard Carter, the burial site reveals the attention given to the deceased as a place for the ka or soul to return. Preserved by a lengthy mummification process, the body was embalmed under the supervision of a priest for over a month in a special solution and the organs were removed for special preparation. This set includes the sarcophagus and mummy inside with the funerary mask of King Tut. Made from resin with hand painted gold and color details, removable lid, 4.5" x 2".
