Ancient Egypt Museum-Scale Replicas
Tutankhamun’s Game Board of Ivory
Tutankhamun’s Game Board of Ivory
Model Size (Scale)
All authenticated replicas are produced at 1:1 scale of the original piece
Several game boards were found in the tomb of Tutankhamun. In a design choice that seems practically modern, two of these, including this one masterfully replicated by Konouz, feature a different game on each side: By just flipping the board over, you could play another game. Also very clever was how ancient Egyptian craftsmen often equipped game boards with one or more drawers for the game pieces.
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.
