Newly completed illustration of the canopic chest of Tutankhamun. The chest is carved from a single block of calcite, with human headed stoppers. Under each stopper is a hollow which contains a canopic coffinette, four in total. These coffinettes contained the embalmed and wrapped viscera (internal organs) of the king.

This is the inner coffin of Tutankhamun. It is made of beaten solid gold and was nested inside the two outer coffins. This coffin contained the mummy of Tutankhamun, wearing his famous golden mask.
