Tutankhamun's Death Mask

Tutankhamun's death mask is one of the most iconic artifacts from ancient Egypt, created around 1323 BC. The mask is a precise and idealized representation of the young pharaoh's face, designed to cover the head of his mummified remains. It features a striped nemes headdress with the uraeus (cobra) and vulture symbols representing the unification of Lower and Upper Egypt. The face exhibits perfect symmetry with almond-shaped eyes, defined eyebrows, and a slight smile, all characteristic of the artistic style of the late 18th Dynasty.
