Tutankhamun as King of Lower Egypt
Almost identical to the gilded figure depicting the king of Upper Egypt is this golden statuette portraying Tutankhamun wearing the crown of Lower Egypt. He holds the symbols of his office, the crook and the flail, and both are composed of gilded bronze as are the sandals he wears. The figure stands on a black base, and it was originally covered in linen and placed within a wooden shrine.
