Tutankhamun was eight or nine years old when he became pharaoh and reigned for approximately ten years. In historical terms, Tutankhamun’s significance stems from his rejection of the radical religious innovations introduced by his predecessor Akhenaten. As King Tutankhamun began his reign at such an early age. His original name, Tutankhaten, means “Living Image of Aten”, while Tutankhamun means “Living Image of Amun”. This beautiful reproduction of King Tut being crowned is nicely painted with the egyptian text along the side of the wall relief. This wall relief makes a nice home or office decor.
