Tutankhamun: The Golden Age of the Pharaohs - Mummy Magnet

This item is a decorative souvenir magnet representing the sarcophagus of Tutankhamun. The magnet is contained within its original clear plastic retail heat-sealed packaging, topped with a black and gold cardstock header label. The header is printed with the text 'TUTANKHAMUN AND THE GOLDEN AGE OF THE PHARAOHS' and 'MUMMY MAGNET,' along with the exhibition website. The physical object is a 3D-molded miniature figurine, approximately 2 to 3 inches in length, crafted from a cast synthetic resin or similar composite material. It features a metallic gold-toned finish with detailed polychrome paint application, including accents of red, green, and blue to mimic traditional Egyptian inlay work such as lapis lazuli and carnelian. The figure depicts the King in a pose of mummification with arms crossed, wearing the Nemes headdress and holding the crook and flail. As the item remains in its original factory packaging, it appears to be in 'New Old Stock' (NOS) condition, showing no signs of physical wear, oxidation, or loss of pigment. This product was manufactured as official merchandise for the 'Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs' world exhibition tour, which occurred between 2004 and 2011, dating the item to the early 21st century. The craftsmanship is typical of high-end museum gift shop merchandise, prioritizing visual fidelity and thematic accuracy over precious material value.
