The Boy Pharaoh and His Royal Headdress

Tutankhamun wall art like this piece draws on the look of his funerary mask. This King Tut wall hanging echoes its calm, youthful face.

Tutankhamun ruled Egypt during the 18th Dynasty of the New Kingdom, around 1332 to 1323 BCE. He came to the throne as a child and died in his late teens.

The striped nemes headcloth was a mark of royal office. On the famous gold funerary mask, a cobra and a vulture rise from the brow. They stand for Lower and Upper Egypt, joined under one king. The long plaited beard linked the pharaoh with Osiris, god of the afterlife.

A broad collar spreads across the chest in bands of blue, turquoise and coral red. It ends in a border of red beads. Falcon-head terminals sit at the shoulders, a nod to Horus.

Why Tutankhamun Still Fascinates Us

Most royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings were robbed in antiquity. Tutankhamun's tomb, known as KV62, escaped most of that looting. Howard Carter found it in 1922, and his team later uncovered the gold funerary mask.

The discovery set off a wave of Egyptomania in design, fashion and architecture. This King Tut wall hanging carries that excitement into the home. It suits a hallway, study or library.

Display and Care

Mount this King Tut wall hanging with a wall anchor or stud rated well above its 11.8 lb weight. Dust it gently with a soft dry cloth, and keep it away from direct heat. Explore more in our Egyptian Museum Replicas collection, or browse all wall hangings.

About Egyptomania

Pharaoh wall decor grew from it, and a King Tut wall hanging belongs to that tradition. Egyptomania is the long Western fascination with ancient Egypt. It surged after Napoleon's 1798 campaign and again after 1922. In the 1920s, Art Deco designers borrowed lotus, scarab and pyramid motifs for buildings, jewelry and furniture.
