King Tutankhamun, Gold Mask ... One of the most beautiful works of art and fine craftsmanship in solid gold with inlays of coloured glass and rare Afghanistan Lapis Lazuli stone ... Lapis Lazuli stone used for the brows and eyeliner. (matching dark blue glass in the Nemes headdress. Boy King Egyptian Pharaoh, 18th Dynasty Ruled about 1332 - 1323 BC ... he died by age 19 ... some 3,344 years ago (I write this in 2021). New Kingdom Discovered 1922 by Howard Carter ... 99 years ago! You will love this size framed! A work of art for your home! Perfect for homes having Ancient Egyptian theme decor! The sheer beauty and the craftsmanship of this unbelievably ancient work of art is astounding. We are talking about something created some 3,344 years ago (as I write this in 2021). This is pure solid gold. With inlays of rare imported dark blue precious stone Lapis Lazuli from far away Afghanistan ... remember, imported from Afghanistan some 3,344 years ago ... Used for the eyeliner and eye brows. And the unbelievably incredible skill to be able to make matching colour dark blue glass used in the Nemes headdress. The symbols on the headband Crown of rulers of a unified Egypt are the heads of the goddesses of upper and lower Egypt: Nekhbet The White Vulture patroness of the Nile and protector of all Upper Egypt and Wadjet The Cobra Uraeus Serpent patroness of all the Nile Delta and protector of all Lower Egypt. Egypt was unified about 3,100 BC ... some 5,121 years ago (now being 2021 as I write this). Together they are called Nebty ... the Two Ladies. The Nemes striped cloth headdress and the Nebty Two Ladies crown date from the Old Kingdom. Nebty The Two Ladies from the unification of Egypt 3,100 BC ... 5121 years ago ... and separately previous to the unification. The symbolism of the Nemes headdress is thought to be the rays of the Sun. My own personal idea is that wearing such a headdress might enable the Pharaoh to actually hear better the mutterings of his court and subjects perhaps seeming to give him powers in this way.
