Papyrus burnisher of Tutankhamun
Tutankhamun's burnisher is composed of two pieces, the head and the handle, both of which are made of ivory. The head is capped with gold foil, cushioned on a strip of linen coated with an adhesive on both top and bottom surfaces. It is inscribed with his name and his throne name, coupled with his titles. At the base of the handle is a terminal in the form of a papyrus flower.
