Tutankhamun's Burial Mask, Egyptian Museum Cairo (from Luxor) — Howard Carter's 1922 discovery of Tutankhamun's nearly intact tomb revealed this solid gold death mask inlaid with lapis lazuli, carnelian, and glass. The mask weighs 10.23 kilograms and is the most iconic object from ancient Egypt, its haunting gaze unchanged for 3,300 years.
