Cosmetic Jar
Find out more about the Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs exhibition in London (2007-2008).
This jar once contained a mixture of plant and animal fats. A recumbent lion, identified as Tutankhamun, appears on top, while traditional enemies of Nubia and Western Asia are trapped below. This imagery represents the theme of order over chaos.
