Canopic coffinette – In the process of mummification the pharaoh’s internal organs were removed from its body and preserved in four miniature coffins. One of Tutankhamun’s coffinettes appears in the centre of this design with two cartouches - one on each side - which spell in hieroglyphics the young pharaoh’s birth name Tutankhamun, and his throne name Nebkheperure. Originally available as: Bronze, Proof Sterling Silver and a beautiful 1/2oz Proof Fine Gold version, the first of which was presented to H.R.H The Prince of Wales at the Royal Preview of London O2’s ‘Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs’ exhibition.
