The Jewels of Tutankhamun include the famous golden collars of the young king which were found wrapped in the bandages of his mummy, as well as an exquisite falcon headed gold and jewelled collar also found on the mummy. One of the highlights of the display is a fine gold miniature statue of the king but perhaps the finest piece on view is a winged scarab pectoral pendant that was found by Howard Carter in one of the many boxes which contained the personal possessions of the king. The wonderful pendant is made of gold inlaid in with lapis lazuli, turquoise carnelian and jasper. The facsimiles of the jewels have been made by artists in Britain and America especially for the exhibition.
