The Golden Marriage Ceremony of King Tut
This painting is composed of three separate panels taken from three separate exquisite pieces of art. The left panel of this papyrus painting is from one of the panels of the Little Golden Shrine. It portrays Pharaoh Tutankhamun sitting on the throne with his arm resting over the back. The queen stoops toward the king, her right hand touching his left arm. In her left hand she holds, in addition to a bunch of lotus flowers and buds hanging downward, an unguent-cone holder mounted on a stand and decorated with lotus.
The center panel of this papyrus painting is a representation of the "Papyrus Vignette of Tutankhamun and Ankhesenamun" housed in the The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities in Cairo, Egypt. The original papyrus painting is thought to be a wedding portrait.
The right side panel of this papyrus painting is from the back of the Golden Throne of Tutankhamun. In this scene the Pharaoh wears the hemhem diadem integrating 3 atef crowns. He is peacefully reclining on his throne while his lovely wife Queen Ankhesenamun anoints him with perfume.
