New King Tut exhibit coming to Atlanta
Tutankhamun possessed four miniature gold coffins inlaid with colored glass and semi-precious stones. Each stood in a separate compartment in an alabaster chest. The band of inscription running down the front names Imseti, one of the sons of Horus, and the goddess Isis, who would protect the deceased and the particular mummified organ within. The cartouche encircling the king's name on the interior was reworked and originally had the name of one of Tutankhamun's relatives. File photo
