English: The exquisite, gilded bier on which Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun's nest of coffins rested, within his Sarcophagus. It is now on display at the Cairo Museum. This picture was originally taken in 2004. The following notes are taken from Howard Carter's index card :

DIMENSIONS: L. 221; W. 85; H. 26.5, cents.
DESCRIPTION: Heavy wooden bed-shaped bier, gesso gilt, having within outer framework an imitation webbing, resembling much the string mesh of the Sudanese Augaûl. On the front two heads of lions, on the back tails of lions; the legs, in like manner, represent the fore and hind feet of a lion. The head is of concave form to fit and receive the convex bottom of the anthropoid outer coffin. The under part of the imitation mesh webbing is varnished with black resin.
