What could be better than the mask of gold to stir up the tragedy and glory of a young king? If you are into Egyptian culture, you must check the Young Pharaoh Tutankhamen on eBay, which is an exceptional Egyptian gold artwork. The artistic sculpture that represents receptacle of eternity is made from very same ancient technique that was used by Egyptians long ago. The artists have used polished graphite with the aspect of black basalt covered by layers of bronze. The face of Tutanhamen has been further covered by a layer of 24 carat gold. Very much like the ancient goldsmiths of Egypt, the group of artists created the blue finishes by filling out the empty spaces with a powder of blue lapis lazuli with different mixture to create a homogenous effect. To my surprise, the starting bid is just $1,999 while the Buy it now price is $5,457. Not a bad deal at all for the antique lovers. The bidding ends on 8th of next month.
