This marvelous mask of excellent workmanship protected the head of
the mummy of Tutankhamun. Further protection was assured by a magic
formula engraved on the shoulders and the back of the mask. The
original was decorated by many semi-precious stones and glass
suitable to a pharaoh. For example, on the original, the usual Nemes
headdress knotted back at the nape of the neck was a striped
blue-green imitating lapis lazuli. The Uraeus and vulture head in
gold inlaid with semi-precious stones and colored glass, ornamented
the brow. The mask’s eyes were made of obsidian and quartz with a
touch of red at the corners: the cosmetic lines and the lids were of
inlaid blue glass. The divine beard, plaited and turned up at the end,
was of cloisonné work (colored glass held in a framework of gold.)
The wide necklace collar was formed of rows of lapis lazuli, quartz,
amazonite and colored glass beads attached at each shoulder to a gold
falcon’s head ornamented with obsidian. This mask presents us with a
beautiful albeit idealized portrait of the young Egyptian Pharaoh King.
