Let me start off by saying this guy must have been pretty damn awesome. In life he was one of the youngest pharaohs ever, and in death he has the most extravagant piece of artwork i think i have ever seen. Honestly it looks like they took his weight in gold (literally) and shaped it in his glorious image. Not only does this mask have more gold on it then a garbage dump full of cheap jewelery; it has just about every semi precious stone known to man. Now that I'm finished ranting about how rich this guy was, I'll move on to what i like about this piece.
The amount of color in this piece is spectacular. An entire spectrum, all without looking like a mess. (which since I'm a man with a limited sense of color, might be a bold statement.)
That aside i enjoy how almost god-like Tut's face appears. While he looks very stern, he is also incredibly calm. I feel it truly gives the sense of how important he really was. Something that I'm a bit curious about is the weight of this thing. The mask has so much stuff on it; it has to weigh a ton.
