king tutankhamun's treasures

 king Tutankhamen treasures


Hundreds of other items were found in Tutankhamun's tomb. Furniture, food,
 jars of beer, clothing, jewelry and other riches. Above right is a gilded divan
Tutankhamun was entombed with 413 shawabtis. Shawabtis are figurines that would assist the deceased when they entered the afterlife.
This marvelous chair was found in the annex of the antechamber among a jumble of furniture, boxes, and objects of alabaster. 


                                Yet another beautiful piece of alabaster 


    Tutankhamun's gilded and gem-encrusted throne


Here are two beautifully carved alabaster items. The one on the left is a perfume jar,
 and the container on the right was probably made to hold ointment or sacred oils.
                                       A gilded and gem-encrusted chest
                                                An alabaster perfume jar

The hammering work on the gold panels on some of the objects is incredible

 A closer view of the shrine is at the right while a wooden statue of Anubis, the guide of the dead, sits upon a great chest. Both the chest and the shrine are covered in sheet gold and covered with hieroglyphs
