Artefact name: Tutankhamun's Death Mask
Date created: 1925
Introduce your artefact:
Tutankhamun's Death Mask is a gold mask that covers the mummified face of Tutankhamun, an Egyptian pharaoh who ruled during the 18th dynasty.
Origin: The mask was discovered in Tutankhamun's tomb in the Valley of the Kings in Luxor, Egypt. It is believed to have been made around 1323 BCE during the New Kingdom Period.
Description of artefact: The mask is made of solid gold and weighs about 24 pounds. It is about two feet tall and adorned with precious stones such as lapis lazuli, obsidian, and quartz. The mask has a ceremonial beard attached to it, which is a symbol of royalty and divinity in Ancient Egyptian culture.
Motive – why was it made? The mask was created to cover the face of Tutankhamun's mummy as part of his burial rites. It was believed that the mask would protect the pharaoh's spirit and ensure his safe passage into the afterlife.
What was the artefact used for? The death mask was used to protect Tutankhamun's mummy and to ensure his safe journey into the afterlife. It was also meant to demonstrate his power and wealth as a pharaoh.
Answer to first inquiry question: What is the significance of Tutankhamun's death mask in Ancient Egyptian culture?
The death mask of Tutankhamun was of great importance to Ancient Egyptian culture as it served as a symbol of the pharaoh's power, divinity, and status. According to the Ancient History Encyclopedia, "The death mask was intended to reinforce the deceased's identity as the king and his ability to rule eternally beyond the afterlife."
The first source (Ancient History Encyclopedia) was helpful in answering this question as it provided a concise explanation of the significance of Tutankhamun's death mask in Ancient Egyptian culture.
I would like to find out more about the materials used in creating the death mask and how it was made in more detail.
Answer to second inquiry question: How was Tutankhamun's death mask discovered and by whom?
Tutankhamun's death mask was discovered by British archaeologist Howard Carter in 1925 during his excavation of Tutankhamun's tomb in the Valley of the Kings. According to the National Geographic, "As the team struggled to clear away the rubble, they found the pharaoh's tomb...the gold mask was inside three layers of coffins."

I would like to know more about the symbolism of the beard attached to the mask and its significance in Ancient Egyptian culture.
Answer to third inquiry question: Are there any controversies surrounding the ownership and display of Tutankhamun's death mask?
Yes, there have been various controversies surrounding the ownership and display of Tutankhamun's death mask. In 2014, the beard of Tutankhamun's mask was accidentally broken off during a cleaning process and was poorly glued back on. This caused outrage among experts in the field who claimed that it had been irreparably damaged. There have also been calls for the mask to be returned to Egypt, as it was taken out of the country in 1925 during the era of British colonialism.
The third source (BBC) was helpful in providing information on the controversy surrounding the mask's ownership and display.
I would like to know more about the restoration process of the death mask and the arguments for and against returning it to Egypt.
