Tutankhamun (1343-1325 BC). Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th dynasty and the son of Akhenaton. He became the pharaoh at the age of 8 and ruled until his death of 19. This figurine was referenced to his famous mask, which was beaten from two separate sheets of gold, consistent in thickness and joined by hammering. The mask was subsequently embellished by chasing, burnishing, and the addition of inlay work.
