Tutankhamun's treasures and artworks, Ancient Egyptian Art

Tutankhamun's treasures are among the most iconic artifacts of Ancient Egypt. When Howard Carter discovered his tomb in 1922, it was virtually intact, providing an unparalleled glimpse into the wealth and artistry of the New Kingdom period.Show more

Perhaps the most famous of all the treasures is Tutankhamun's gold funerary mask. It is an exquisite piece of craftsmanship, made of solid gold inlaid with lapis lazuli, turquoise, and other precious stones. It covers the pharaoh's mummy and is adorned with symbolic imagery.

The pharaoh's golden throne, adorned with scenes of his wife, Ankhesenamun, was another significant find. It symbolizes his royal status and depicts him and his queen in various ceremonies.

Inside Tutankhamun's tomb, Carter discovered a canopic shrine containing four alabaster canopic jars, each holding the preserved internal organs of the young king. The shrine is intricately decorated with scenes from Egyptian mythology.

Tutankhamun was buried in a series of coffins, each nestled inside the other.
The innermost coffin is made of solid gold and depicts the pharaoh as Osiris, the god of the afterlife.

Among the treasures were several statues of the pharaoh, including a life-sized statue found near the entrance of the tomb. These statues served both a religious and a symbolic purpose, ensuring the king's immortality in the afterlife.

Ancient Egyptian art, including that found in Tutankhamun's tomb, is characterized by its religious symbolism, attention to detail, and emphasis on preserving the pharaoh's legacy in the afterlife. Hieroglyphs, symbolic motifs, and depictions of gods and goddesses are common themes in Egyptian art, reflecting the culture's deep spiritual beliefs and reverence for the divine.
