This is a fabulous numbered limited edition ceramic replica of a cheetah's head from King Tut's tomb made by Boehm, USA between 1976-1979 to salute the United States Bicentennial. During that time Egypt allowed another exhibit of the Treasures of Tutankhamen to tour 6 museums. The statue is number 218 and design number TC7. The cheetah is covered in 24 kt gold leaf and is from the lions on the sides of the bed found in the tomb and probably is the Egyptian Goddess Schmer who could destroy the souls of the wicked. The head is in absolutely perfect condition. A fabulous collector's piece. Shipping in the US by USPS priority insured is $15.20.
