Tutankhamun’s Ankh-Shaped Mirror Case
Tutankhamun’s Ankh-Shaped Mirror Case
Model Size (Scale)
All authenticated replicas are produced at 1:1 scale of the original piece
There is a clever instance of ancient Egyptian wordplay to be found in this mirror-case that is shaped like the ankh-hieroglyph, symbol of life, since “ankh” was also one of their words for “mirror”. The lid is decorated with Tutankhamun’s Throne Name, Nebkheperure, above a lotus flower, solar symbol of rebirth, and flanked by two cobras with solar disks.
This piece is accompanied by Certificate A , issued by Konouz in collaboration with the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities. It confirms that the replica faithfully reproduces the original artifact at 1:1 scale , with careful attention to its form, surface treatment, and detail.
