Golden mask of an Egyptian pharaoh.  Detailed headdress and facial features.

Golden Egyptian funerary mask.

This is the golden funerary mask of Tutankhamun. It was discovered in 1925 by Howard Carter in Tutankhamun's tomb in the Valley of the Kings, Egypt. The mask, crafted from gold and inlaid with semi-precious stones, was placed over the pharaoh's face to protect him in the afterlife. It's a remarkable example of ancient Egyptian artistry and a powerful symbol of the pharaoh's power and status.
