Sculpture

Beautiful and imposing vintage bust of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun, modeled after his world-famous death mask. This high-quality sculpture is made from solid cast brass (yellow copper) and dates from the flourishing period of Hollywood Regency and Egyptian Revival style in the 1970s/1980s. What makes this specimen unique is its exceptionally high weight of no less than 4.2 kilograms. Where many comparable replicas are hollow or made of plastic, this is a very solid, heavy, and well-cast object. The brass has developed over the years a beautiful, authentic patina that adds extra depth to the facial features and the iconic details of the nemes headdress. If desired, the statue can also be polished to a high gloss. A stunning, eclectic decorative piece that fits excellently in a modern, vintage, or Hollywood Regency-inspired interior. Also suitable as an exclusive, heavy bookend or paperweight. • Object: Sculpture / Bust • Image: Pharaoh Tutankhamun (Death Mask / King Tut) • Material: Solid brass (yellow copper) • Period: 1970s / 1980s (20th century) • Style: Hollywood Regency / Egyptian Revival • Country of origin: Europe (France / Belgium) • Weight: 4200 grams (4.2 kg) • Condition: In very good vintage condition with a beautiful, natural patina appropriate for its age.
