This is a reproduction of a side panel of a small gold shrine included in the Treasures of Tutankhamun exhibition that toured America in the late 1970s. The four scenes are exactly reproduced in size and imagery, and include images of Tutankhamun and his wife Ankhesenamun performing various rituals. There is no accompanying paperwork, but I believe the panel is copper with 24K gold plate, and is mounted on a linen wrapped panel, and covered with an acrylic shadowbox type frame. "Made in England" stamp on back. The last photo is from the Treasures of Tutankhamun exhibition catalog showing the location of the reproduction on the shrine. The panel itself measures 11.25 x 10.25", framed with acrylic cover, 14 x 14 x 2.25". The panel has no damage, and appears to be in like new condition.
This work examines the historical significance and artistic composition of the gold shrine panels discovered within the tomb of Tutankhamun. The author, a noted expert in Egyptology, provides a detailed analysis of the iconography and ritualistic imagery present on the artifacts. By focusing on the specific side panels, the text elucidates the religious and cultural practices of the Eighteenth Dynasty.
