This marvelous mask of excellent workmanship protected the head of the mummy of Tutankhamun. Further protection was assured by a magic formula engraved on the shoulders and the back of the mask. The original was decorated by many semi-precious stones and glass suitable to a pharaoh. For example, on the original, the usual Nemes headdress knotted back at the nape of the neck was a striped blue-green imitating lapis lazuli. The Uraeus and vulture head in gold inlaid with semi-precious stones and colored glass, ornamented the brow. The maskís eyes were made of obsidian and quartz with a touch of red at the corners: the cosmetic lines and the lids were of inlaid blue glass. The divine beard, plaited and turned up at the end, was of colored glass held in a framework of gold. The wide necklace collar was formed of rows of lapis lazuli, quartz, amazonite and colored glass beads attached at each shoulder to a gold falcon's head ornamented with obsidian.
