Bust of Tutankhamun

This alabaster sculpture of King Tutankhamun (1332 to 1323 B.C.) is one of the Egyptian treasures in the exhibition "Tutankhamun: The Golden Beyond—Treasures from the Valley of the Kings." The exhibition is in Germany until it comes to the U.S. next year. It includes more than 120 artifacts from Tutankhamun's tomb and other ancient Egyptian landmarks.

The exhibition is on display from November 4, 2004, through May 1, 2005, at the Kunst- und Ausstellungshalle (Art and Exhibition Hall of the Federal Republic of Germany) in Bonn, Germany (more on the exhibition).
