Papyrus Painting - The Throne of King Tut Golden Highlights

This throne was one of the special artifacts found in King Tut's tomb which was discovered in 1922 by Howard Carter.

More of the story...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.  This scene is taken from the back of the chair.

*****NOTICE**** Changes implemented by the Ministry of Antiquities requires all papyrus to be inspected by an expert - what this means is that while your order will show as shipped, it may in fact be on hold at the Cairo airport pending inspection. For this reason we are not able to combine papyrus orders with anything else, i.e. papyrus and jewelry, or glassworks etc. If you are ordering something else in addition to the papyrus you must order it separately. We apologize for any delays that may occur, ultimately it is about the preservation of the history of Egypt.
