This King Tut wall hanging echoes its calm, youthful face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTutankhamun 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA broad collar spreads across the chest in bands of blue, turquoise and coral red. It ends in a border of red beads.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe discovery set off a wave of Egyptomania in design, fashion and architecture.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFor More Reading from the Web\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscover the wealth behind Tutankhamun's dynasty: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/essays\/egypt-in-the-new-kingdom-ca-1550-1070-b-c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eEgypt in the New Kingdom - The Metropolitan Museum of Art\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStudy the gold coffin and death mask up close: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/smarthistory.org\/tutankhamuns-tomb-innermost-coffin-and-death-mask\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eTutankhamun's tomb, innermost coffin and death mask - Smarthistory\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Attic Supply","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68796879405169,"sku":"ATC-341","price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/0537\/files\/ATC-341-king-tut-wall-hanging-8-1080sqr.jpg?v=1794522032","url":"https:\/\/www.museumize.com\/products\/king-tut-wall-hanging","provider":"Museumize.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
