King Tut


My favorite piece at the King Tut exhibit at the AGO.
One of four canopic coffinettes, it was made to hold Tutankhumun's internal organs. This one in particular held the stomach.
The amount of detail and craftsmenship put into this peice is mind blowing. I also couldnt belive how well it had been preseved. It is crazy to me that design like this existed back in 1350 BC
