Golden Throne of Tutankhamun

New Kingdom, late 18th Dynasty, reign of Tutankhamun, ca. 1332-1323 BC. 

The luxurious armchair is distinguished by the complexity of its technique and an abundance of details. Two projecting lions’ heads protect the seat of the throne while the arms take the form of winged uraei or rearing cobras wearing the double Pschent crown of Egypt and guarding the cartouche names of the king.

The golden throne of Tutankhamun was discovered in 1922 by the British archeologist Howard Carter. It was found beneath a hippopotamus funerary bed in the antechamber of the Tomb of Tutankhamun.

The throne is called (Ist) in Egyptian hieroglyphs after the name of the mother goddess Isis. who was usually depicted bearing a throne on her head as her characteristic emblem. It is made of wood and covered with gold and silver. It is ornamented with semi-precious stones and colored glass.

The throne meant, not only the link between the worlds of Gods and the people, but also majesty, stability, safety and balance. Since kings were considered Gods on earth, it may not be difficult to imagine Tutankhamun imposing his divine will over the rest of mortals while sitting on this golden throne.

Wood, gold leaf, silver, semi-precious stones, glass paste,

Height: 102 cm, Length: 54 cm, Width: 60 cm,

Egyptian Museum, Cairo.

A beautiful smile

When @erebus0dora told me about this absolutely gut-wrenching beautiful idea, I decided I'll try to make a couple of objects from Daniel's storage. So here's a second one, an Angel with pomegranate.

Painted on a piece of sea pottery, a commission for @dweeby . Hard to capture its true colors.

redraw of a concert photo by Luke Sutton! Secondo just looked so ‘Saint-like’ in this photo, I had to recreate it. Done with alcohol-based markers, diluted gouache, watercolor pencils, and micron pens. 💙🧎‍♀️

▪︎ Portrait of Fritza Riedler.

Artist: Gustav Klimt

Date: 1906

Medium: Oil and gold leaf on canvas

[thebeautifulbook]

CATHOLIC MISSALE ROMANUM (1889) with a magnificent binding made of gold-plated copper and brass. It is adorned with 180 cultured pearls and 68 precious stones (rubies and sapphires of simple quality, tourmalines, chrome diopsides, aquamarines, iolites, citrines, tiger's eyes, amethysts, phrenites, moonstones, smoky quartz, rock crystals and colored rock crystals, carnelian and much more). There are only 8 syntheses: the 4 large red corner stones and 2 smaller red stones in the binding as well as the 2 red stones in the book clasps are synthetic rubies - so-called corundums.

In 2008, this museum-quality treasure bindilng was created by the Fa. Schmuck-Werk goldsmiths in the style of the High Middle Ages. There is no exact historical model for this extraordinary book cover, which is unique in the world. However, all of the details, such as the shape of the filigree or the shape of the various gemstone and pearl settings, were inspired by actual medieval book bindings.

Meet Onyx, the cutest little noodle-man. This was a really fun (and extremely messy) experiment with getting gold leaf and scale structure onto fabric! For @tlh_on_main , a wonderful friend.
