The most famous death mask belongs to Pharaoh Tutankhamun, discovered in his tomb in 1922. Other notable Pharaohs, such as Ramses II and Seti I, also had elaborate funerary masks, although their original masks may not have survived as well as Tutankhamun's. Death masks were typically made of gold and adorned with jewels, serving as a representation of the deceased in the afterlife. These masks were integral to ancient Egyptian burial practices, reflecting the importance of the afterlife in their culture.
