Papyrus Painting - Golden King Tut  Funeral Mask Dramatic Black Background

 

Egyptian Papyrus Painting: King Tut  Funeral Mask Dramatic Black Background

Product Description: Papyrus painting of King Tut's funerary mask with a black background with golden highlights is one of the most iconic pieces of ancient Egypt.  Hand painted on a natural papyrus canvas. 

The mask is 54 cm (21 in) tall, 39.3 cm (15.5 in) wide and 49 cm (19 in) deep. It is fashioned from two layers of high-karat gold, varying from 1.5 t0 3 mm (0.059 to 0.118 in) in thickness, and weighing 10.23 kg (22.6 lb).  The cause of Tutankhamun's death remains uncertain. A 1968 x-ray seemed to show damage to the base of the skull, perhaps due to a blow to the head, but CT scans have disproved that theory.   Recently examination showed a compound fracture of the left thigh:   he could have quickly died of infection.

All papyrus paintings are sent with "rough" edges, easily trimmed to fit your framing needs.

*****NOTICE****
Changes implemented by the Ministry of Antiquities requires all papyrus to be inspected by an expert - what this means is that while your order will show as shipped, it may in fact be on hold at the Cairo airport pending inspection. For this reason we are not able to combine papyrus orders with anything else, i.e. papyrus and jewelry, or glassworks etc. If you are ordering something else in addition to the papyrus you must order it separately. We apologize for any delays that may occur, ultimately it is about the preservation of the history of Egypt.
