Small gilded wooden figure of Tutankhamun
Small Gilded Wooden Figure of Tutankhamun
 
Nothing in the dress or the accouterments of this gilded wooden figure of the king indicates its purpose. It is one of a pair from another shrine, both being similar in every respect except for the crown. In this figure the king wears the crown of Upper Egypt, a bead collar, a pleated kilt with apron, and sandals. In his hands are a flail and a long crook, made, like the sandals, of gilded bronze. The deep dip in the front of the girdle, revealing much of the abdomen, is a typical feature of the art of the Amarna period.
