This mask of Tutankhamen is an example of the highest artistic and technical achievements of the ancient Egyptians in the New Kingdom. Covering the head of the wrapped mummy in its coffin and activated by a magical spell, no.151b from the Book of the Dead, the mask ensured more protection for the king’s body.
The exact portrayal of the king’s facial features achieved here made it possible for his soul to recognize him and return to his mummified body, thus ensuring his resurrection. The head is covered by the royal headdress and the forehead bears the emblems of kingship and protection: the vulture and uraeus, or cobra. The gold sheets used in this wonderful mask are joined together by heating and hammering. The eyes are of obsidian and quartz and the eyebrows and eyelids are inlaid with lapis lazuli. The broad inlaid collar of semiprecious stones and colored glass ends in falcon heads. Dimensions: Height 54 cm Width 39.3 cm Ancient Egypt.

I’m speculating that the skin tone was reddish for some people because of the exposure to the sun after many years, also don’t forget mother nature’s genetics for survival. I myself a caramel complexion turn reddish brown when I’m exposed to the sun for a long period of time, almost like this color above. When I have time I may do a before and after, this is quite normal. -Sola
