Treasure of Tutankhamun. First golden shrine

The entire shape of the sanctuary echoes that of the pavilion used for the Festa sed, the royal jubilee. Inscribed on the walls and doors are phrases from the Book of the Dead and another text on funerary practices known as The Book of the Heavenly Cow. The ceiling is decorated with nine vultures with outstretched wings.
