Model Size (Scale)
All authenticated replicas are produced at 1:1 scale of the original piece
The three coffins of Tutankhamun rank among the finest and most impressive of all finds from his spectacular tomb. The three coffins were skillfully made to be just the right size to be nested within one another, thus offering Tutankhamun layers of protection, both physical and magical. The king’s depiction is clearly identifying him with Osiris, the king of the underworld. In death, the ancient Egyptians were identified with Osiris so they too could live on in the afterlife, just as he had.
