->TOMB OF TUTANKHAMEN The principal item that Carter
found in Tutankhamen’s tomb is the enshrined body of the
pharaoh himself. The royal mummy reposed in the innermost of
three coffins, nested one within the other. The innermost coffin
(FIG. 3-34) was the most luxurious of the three. Made of beaten
gold (about a quarter ton of it) and inlaid with semiprecious
stones such as lapis lazuli, turquoise, and carnelian, it is a
supreme monument to the sculptor’s and goldsmith’s crafts. The
portrait mask (FIG. 3-1), which covered the king’s face, is also
made of gold with inlaid semiprecious stones. It is a sensitive
portrayal of the serene adolescent king dressed in his official
regalia, including the nemes headdress and false beard. The
general effects of the mask and of the tomb treasures as a whole
are of grandeur and richness expressive of Egyptian power,
pride, and affluence.
