Top 10: The Best Photos of Egyptian Artefacts by Sandro Vannini on Flickr

The Golden Death Mask of King Tutankhamun is one of the most famous archaeological pieces of all time. Image Copyright - Sandro Vannini.When I was asked to select ten of my favourite images from the Flickr photostream of Heritage Key photographer Sandro Vannini, I wasn't sure how I would be able to choose just ten from a collection of images that are each so breathtaking. 

However, I discovered that his photostream at present only contains 88 images so my task was a little less daunting.  However, they are all such exceptional images I would not even begin to know how to rank them in any particular order so please don't assume I found image number one more pleasing than number 10! Here are my joint top 10 favourite images by Vannini.
