I went to check out the King Tut exhibit at the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) that opens this week, and it is an amazing collection of ancient artifacts and art.
This is a gold crown found in the tomb of Sety II with his name, and his wife's name (Tawosret) on the back of the pedals. Found in Thebes, Valley of the Kings (kv56) New Kingdom, 19th Dynasty, reign of Sety II (1221-1215 BCE)

This is one of the many photos I've taken at a range of exhibits over the years at the wonderful Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto.
This is my long standing photoblog - think Instagram before Instagram. Back in 2004 I bought a Canon digital 10D with a great lens, and thought I'd force myself to take lots of pictures. The site contains more than 1,300 photos, so safe to say I have the quantity part taken care of.
Be sure to say hi if you see me on the street!
