<p>[QUOTE="mirana, post: 9960016, member: 79705"]Many years ago I bought a positively stunning black and white print of the mask made from Harry Burton's original glass negatives, which he took during the excavation of the tomb. The Griffith institute <a href="http://www.griffith.ox.ac.uk/gri/4tutpix.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.griffith.ox.ac.uk/gri/4tutpix.html" rel="nofollow">still offers them</a>. It's amazing even just to look through the archive as they were photos of everything as found. The print I have is a close-up of half the mask, showing the dried plant wreath that once hung from it. The print is amazingly sharp. They're quite reasonably priced. I framed mine and hung it in my dining room. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That mask is unlikely to ever leave Egypt again so you were extremely lucky!!
