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.

The Unbroken Seal of Tutankhamun's tomb,

Opened on November 4, 1922.

It consisted of an arm-shaped knot wrapped around one of the handles and a clay stamp (on the right) with the figure of the jackal god Anubis.

This lock remained intact for 3245 years, until English archaeologist and Egyptologist Howard Carter, who led the project to search and find King Tut's tomb in the Valley of the Kings, took this photo and opened it.

The seal of Tutankhamun's tomb, before it was opened on November 4, 1922.

It consisted of an arm-shaped knot wrapped around one of the handles and a clay stamp (on the right) with the figure of the jackal god Anubis.

This lock remained intact for 3245 years, until English archaeologist and Egyptologist Howard Carter, who led the project to search and find King Tut's tomb in the Valley of the Kings, took this photo and opened it.

The words of the famous Egyptologist Howard Carter, written when the tomb was found sealed, were as follows:

"At last I have made a marvelous discovery in the valley, a magnificent tomb with intact seals," Howard Carter wrote in a telegram to Lord Carnavon on November 6, 1922.

"A sealed door! (... ) With an excitement that turned into feverish ardor I searched for the door stamps, in search of evidence of the identity of the owner of the place," continued the Egyptologist, who at that time found only "the known seal of the royal necropolis, the jackal and nine captives." They were the intact seals of the tomb of a King, King Tutankhamun.
