Close-up angled view of the golden coffin lid of Pharaoh Tutankhamun (18th Dynasty, c. 1323 BC), displayed at the Egyptian Museum on Tahrir Square, Cairo. The artifact features the nemes headdress with blue and gold striped lappets, a uraeus cobra on the brow, and an elaborate broad collar (wesekh) inlaid with turquoise, lapis lazuli, and carnelian-colored faience. Tutankhamun's innermost coffin is one of the most iconic artifacts of ancient Egyptian royal burial tradition, crafted from solid gold and discovered in the Valley of the Kings in 1922 by Howard Carter.
