Tutankhamun's mask magnets

 
This is Tutankhamun's mask.  He was a young Egyptian pharoah who came to power when he was a little boy younger than us!  This mask was on his mummified body and is made of solid gold! 

 
Room 1 made our own masks modelled from Tutankhamun's golden one.  We made them out of a special clay called 'dukit' which goes hard when it is cooked.  They have been made into magnets to put on our fridges at home to remind us of the treasures from Ancient Egypt.
