The golden mask of Tutankhamun, Egyptian Museum Cairo. The mask contains two alloys of gold: 18.4 carat shade for the face and neck, and 22.5 carat gold for the rest of the mask. The face represents the pharaoh's standard image, and the same image was found by excavators elsewhere in the tomb, in particular in the guardian statues. He wears a nemes headcloth, topped by the royal insignia of a cobra and vulture - symbolising Tutankhamun's rule of both Upper and Lower Egypt. The ears are pierced to hold earrings. It contains inlays of coloured glass and gemstones, including lapis lazuli , quartz, obsidian, carnelian, feldspar, turquoise, amazonite, faience and other stones. #thegiftsofmindfulness #iregipto #egyptpassion #retreat #yoga #inspiration #alchemistofunconditionallove #theboyking #Tutankhamun #king #kingtut #gold #cobra #Egypt #earrings #guardianangel #guard #guardiantravelsnaps #egyptianmuseum #egyptianmagic https://www.instagram.com/p/BwZiu07hHiz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16lhegromc78j
