Synopsis: This image shows the gold mask of King Tutankhamun. A locator dot and title are shown. These must always be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. The king's face, in the centre of the image, is surrounded by a highly decorated headdress and neck piece. At the top of the image, the headdress has emblems of a cobra and an eagle. The cobra on the right is facing forward, with both eyes, its narrow mouth and patterned neck showing. To the left of this is the eagle, which also faces forward with both eyes and its beak showing above its neck. Just below these creatures is Tutankhamun's face which is heavily made up, so that his eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth and ears can easily be found. Around his face is the decorative headdress, and an ornamental piece is attached to his chin. At the bottom of the image, the highly decorative neck piece curves upwards at each side to join the headdress.
