Tutankhamun's Cartouche Cosmetic Box Shot in King Tut Virtual

The Cartouche Cosmetic Box is one of numerous artefacts found inside the Tomb of King Tutankhamun (KV62) by famous Egyptologist Howard Carter. The discovery was made in the sarcophagus itself according to Carter, although it's possible that the artefact was actually found in between the two outer shrines, as other cosmetic boxes were.

Although it was the Golden Mask of Tutankhamun which captivated the world when KV62 was discovered by Howard Carter in 1922, Tutankhamun's tomb was adorned with several thousands of other artefacts including Cartouche Cosmetic Box. But why make that expensive trip to Cairo when you can see them in 3D in our King Tut Virtual exhibition for free.
