Tiny Egypt Tuesday: Gold eye covers

Apr 20, 2021

Two tiny (well ... eye-sized!) Egyptian gold eye covers - which would have been placed over the eyes of the deceased - made of very thin gold with pupils and eye-lashes pressed into them.

Photographed for Manchester Museum's Golden Mummies of Egypt exhibition.
