Tutankhamun: The Golden King and the Great Pharaohs makes its Colorado debut at the Denver Art Museum, after a successful tour which combines over 50 treasures from the tomb of the boy-king with another 70 artefacts spanning two millennia of the great civilization.
For those with more than a passing interest in the historical knowledge of Egypt's most famous ruler, the show also features landmark scientific research on King Tut, culminating in the first 3D CT-scan of the pharaoh's mummy.
This head of a leopard was found in the antechamber in context with robes. It’s believed that priests, performing the opening of the mouth ceremony, attached it to their robes while doing so. It’s made of gilded wood, rock crystal, and coloured glass. A painting on the north wall of Tut’s tomb shows a priest wearing this ornament over the upper part of his body, with the ornament extending down over his skirt.
Tut has returned to Toronto. After 30 years the boy king’s treasures are back in the Canadian city, with a new show set to open this Tuesday, at the Art Gallery of Ontario.
