In 1940, the tomb of Pharaoh Psusennes I was unearthed in the northern Egyptian city of Tanis, revealing an extraordinary assemblage of artifacts. Among the remarkable finds were a golden funerary mask, a gilded ceremonial garment, exquisite jewelry, sarcophagi crafted from both stone and silver, ornate tableware, weaponry, and shabti figurines.
