Mask of Tutankhamun
The mask was placed on the Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun’s mummy. It was made of blue glass, solid gold, carnelian, turquoise glass, lapis lazuli & quartz. There is an Egyptian cobra on the mask because the Ancient Egyptians believed that the cobra was a protective symbol. King Tutankhamun’s mask was made in 1323 BC when he died.
