Today\u2019s object is: Tutankhamun&#8217;s mask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.winkle-picker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/440px-King_Tut_Mask_front_and_back_cropped.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-707\" width=\"440\" height=\"648\"\/><figcaption>The less well-known view of Tutankhamun&#8217;s mask<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.winkle-picker.com\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=660&amp;action=edit\">a life mask<\/a>, now we have a death mask. When something is nearly 4,000 years old but almost boringly familiar, it is testimony to the ubiquity of its use as an iconic image. Even though we are looking at the back view of Tutankhamun&#8217;s mask here, we already all know what it looks like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was six years old when the <em>Treasures of Tutankhamun<\/em> exhibition came to the British Museum in London in March 1972. By the end of the year it had been seen by 1.6 million people, making it the most popular exhibition in the museum&#8217;s history and sparking a new wave of Egyptomania. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course there has been a steady stream of pop culture associated with the curse of the mummy since Howard Carter&#8217;s sensational opening of\u00a0Tutankhamun&#8217;s tomb in 1925. As he wrote at the time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>&#8220;The pins removed, the lid was raised. The penultimate scene was disclosed \u2013 a very neatly wrapped mummy of the young king, with golden mask of sad but tranquil expression, symbolizing Osiris \u2026 the mask bears that god&#8217;s attributes, but the likeness is that of Tut.Ankh.Amen \u2013 placid and beautiful, with the same features as we find upon his statues and coffins. The mask has fallen slightly back, thus its gaze is straight up to the heavens&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0The\u00a018th-dynasty\u00a0ancient Egyptian\u00a0Pharaoh\u00a0Tutankhamun\u00a0reigned from 1332 to 1323 BC. One of the things I love above this object apart from its undeniable beauty is the inscription around the collar at the back of the mask. The words are taken from <em>The Book of the Dead<\/em> that by the time of the young Pharaoh&#8217;s death would have been regarded as ancient history, having been written nearly 500 years earlier. It reminds us that everything is relative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tutankhamun collection will be rehoused in <a href=\"http:\/\/gem.gov.eg\">The Grand Egyptian Museum<\/a> due to open in 2021. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every day for 30 days we will be featuring a museum obj [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[95],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3941","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-opinion-zh-hant"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
