From King Tut Exhibit

A very long time ago when I was a kid the King Tut coffin toured though the U.S.. IDK if it was the real deal or a reproduction. I think what you have is just a trinket from a museum. My father took us to a museum to see it. The local Reading city museum still has a woman mummy.

It is a souvenir. Look at the top. Metal ring to hold to a string. Metal is a combination of materials only recently invented in the last 100 years.

Probably a key chain fob made of spelter or white metal... modern.

In 1979 I was 15 years old, I remember going on a school trip to the AGO - Art Gallery of Ontario to see the King Tut Exhibit.
This was one of my most memorable experiences as a teenager.

"Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs displays actual items excavated from tombs of ancient Egyptian Pharaohs. From 130 authentic artifacts presented, 50 were found specifically during the excavations of Tutankhamun's tomb. The exhibition includes 80 exhibits from the reigns of Tutankhamun's immediate predecessors in the Eighteenth dynasty, such as Hatshepsut, whose trade policies greatly increased the wealth of that dynasty and enabled the lavish wealth of Tutankhamun's burial artifacts. Other items were taken from other royal graves of the 18th Dynasty (dating 1555 BCE to 1305 BCE) spanning Pharaohs Amenhotep II, Amenhotep III and Thutmose IV, among others. Items from the largely intact tomb of Yuya and Tjuyu (King Tut's great-grandparents; the parents of Tiye who was the Great Royal Wife of the Egyptian pharaoh Amenhotep III) are also included. Yuya and Tjuyu's tomb was one of the most celebrated historical finds in the Valley of the Kings until Howard Carter's discovery in 1922. This exhibition does not include either the gold death mask that was a popular exhibit from The Treasures of Tutankhamun exhibition, or the mummy itself. The Egyptian Government has determined that these artifacts are too fragile to withstand travel, and thus they will permanently remain in Egypt. The mummy of Tutankhamun is the only known mummy in the Valley Of The Kings to still lie in its original tomb."
