Tutankhamun’s mask is made of gold, glass, and semi-precious stones. Above the king Tut’s head are the vulture Nekhbet and the cobra Wadjet, goddesses of protection for Upper and Lower Egypt.
Priests of the Temple of Amun inscribed a Magical Spell on the back of Tutankhamun’s golden mask to invoke the protection of the gods of the underworld.
There was great fear among the high priests that the young king would be unable to overcome the monsters of the underworld during his journey, so tools to aid and protect him were inscribed and buried.

Wooden Cartouche Shaped Box
Artifacts: The wooden box is two feet long, designed in the shape of an oval Cartouche containing Hieroglyphic Inscriptions that symbolize the name and titles of King Tutankhamun.
Explanation of hieroglyphic inscriptions:
- “Tut-ankh-amun” means “living image of Amun,” king of the gods. The top three hieroglyphs spell Amun’s name.
- The Ankh (at left) symbolizes eternal life. The bird and two loaves spell “tut,” meaning “image,” hence “living image.”
- A crook (for “ruler”) plus two symbols for the city of Thebes “Luxor” declares Tutankhamun leader of Amun’s sacred city.

Corselet of King Tutankhamun “Ceremonial Breastplate”
The Corselet design depicts the God Amun offering the Ankh, the symbol of life, to King Tutankhamun.
At the top of the Corselet back hangs a Scarab beetle “symbol of eternal life”, with wings and a falcon’s tail, holding the sun disk high. Each claw bears an ankh, intended for presentation to King Tutankhamun during the sacred Opening of the Mouth ritual.
Flanking the scarab are two cobras, one wearing the white conical crown of Upper Egypt (on the left), and the other the red crown of Lower Egypt, with its Projecting Curl.
Howard Carter found fragments of the Ceremonial Armor scattered haphazardly in wooden boxes, even in a dried date dish. This suggests that the burial priests were hasty and careless in arranging King Tutankhamun’s Funerary Furniture, or that the tomb had been Robbed. What could be the key to solving this mystery?
The Ceremonial Armor was restored using curves and thread holes, but there are still gaps in Corselet design near the neckline, along with other gaps, indicating missing areas that were stolen either by Grave Robbers or by Howard Carter himself!
