Tut Small Shrine EG11706JHP 
 Egyptian Museum Exhibit small gilded gold wooden shrine King Tut royal figurine is thought to have been stolen in antiquity from the Tomb of Tutankhamun and is now in the prime antiquities collection in Cairo taken during visits between 1994 and 1996 when photography was allowed albeit without flash and tripod. None is of studio quality, being handheld with existing, usually extremely poor light and using slide film, pushed Fuji 400asa to get a suitable aperture and shutter speed. Most of the photos are from the Tutankahum exhibits while the rest are items that interested me as I explored this wonderful and extensive collection, requiring many more hours if not days and is only hinted at during the usual one or two hour visit made on a package tour.
