The mask of Tutankhamun is a gold mask of the 18th-dynasty ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun. It was discovered in his tomb in the Valley of the Kings, and is now housed in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. This beautiful ornament inspired by King Tut's mask is perfect as home décor, Christmas decoration, and much more. Artfully created by skilled glass blowers in the heart of old Cairo, Egypt.
The art of glass blowing began in Egypt at least in the 3rd Century A.D. based on a poem written on papyrus that describes the technique - Dandarah’s blown glass products are designed to be functional, while preserving the artisans’ traditional techniques.
