A small statue of Tutankhamun (1341-1323 BC), of gilded wood, depicting Pharoah wearing red crown of Lower Egypt, standing in a papyrus boat made of green painted wood, and gilded, where papyrus details are supposed to appear.
Here, Tutankhamun appears - according to legend of Isis and Osiris - in person of Horus, avenger of his father, ready to throw a spear at his enemy Set, who is represented in form of a hippopotamus or a crocodile.
Statue is held by a coiled chain of bronze, to restrain animal Seth after it has been stabbed. Statue was found in a box dyed black, wrapped in linen.
