Egyptian Papyrus Painting: Throne of King Tut Dramatic Black Background

Egyptian Papyrus Painting: Throne of King Tut with Dramatic Black Background

This throne was one of the special artifacts found in King Tut's tomb which was discovered in 1922 by Howard Carter. King Tut's throne was made of wood, covered in gold leaf. On the throne there is a picture of King Tut and his wife enjoying an afternoon in their garden pavilion. Elaborately constructed of wood, gold, and silver and inlaid with semi-precious stones, glass, and faience, the so-called 'Golden Throne' was described by archaeologist Howard Carter's patron Lord Carnarvon as "one of the most marvellous pieces of furniture that has ever been discovered." Found by Carter in 1922 in the antechamber of the dazzling tomb of Tutankhamun, the throne has assumed a place second only to the burial mask of Tutankhamun as a symbol of the young king's authority and an example of the very finest of New Kingdom craftsmanship.
