This small solid gold statuette of Tutankhamun (c. 1323 BC) shows the young pharaoh standing in a traditional striding pose, wearing the White Crown of Upper Egypt. At just over 5 inches tall, the figure is finely detailed: the facial features, royal regalia, and kilt are rendered with precision despite the miniature scale.
The statuette was found among thousands of objects packed into Tutankhamun's tomb in the Valley of the Kings. Howard Carter discovered the tomb in 1922, largely intact after over 3,000 years. The sheer quantity and quality of gold objects stunned the world and sparked global fascination with ancient Egypt.
It's displayed at the Grand Egyptian Museum. Tutankhamun's gold treasures represent the finest surviving examples of New Kingdom goldsmithing, though his was a minor king's burial. The riches of greater pharaohs like Ramesses II, long since looted, can only be imagined.
