The project aims at the restoration, the archaeological, technical and archaeometrical investigation and the comparative iconographic and art historical study of 88 gold sheet appliqués with figurative decoration from the tomb of Tutankhamun dating to the 14th century BC. This research is an important issue of Egyptology, because it is the only group of objects from Tutankhamuns tomb, which has not yet been studied in a satisfactory way. Because of the frequent presence of Near Eastern motifs on the gold sheets the project is organized by the DAI Kairo in collaboration with Near Eastern Archaeology at the University of Tübingen. This enables a study of the exchange of motifs and cultural communication between Egypt and the Near East in the second millennium BC. Due to the high amount of necessary restoration work and the utility of scientific analysis of the material, the RGZM Mainz has been appointed as third project partner. The focus of the project is directed towards an iconographic and functional characterization of the objects and the scientific investigation of gold composition, of the type and material of the backings of the gold sheets and the production techniques. With regard to iconography, both Egyptian and 'international' motifs, sometimes connected to each other, can be observed in the depictions on the gold sheets. This has been regarded by different scholars as an indication that these objects belong the the so-called International Style of the Late Bronze Age in the Near East, the Eastern Mediterranean and Egypt. This assumption will be critically revised in this project. As it was detected during the first phase of the project (2014-2016) that far more pieces of golds sheet objects are present than expected, an extension of the project for one year, until December 2017, is sought for in this application.

该项目旨在恢复，档案，技术和档案，技术和建筑研究，以及对88个金表贴花的比较肖像和艺术历史研究，并从图坦汉墓墓前到公元前14世纪。这项研究是埃及学的重要问题，因为它是图坦汉姆墓中唯一的对象，尚未以满意的方式研究。由于近东主题的频率呈现在黄金纸上，该项目是由戴·凯罗（Dai Kairo）与图宾根大学（University ofTübingen）的近东考古合作组织的。这使得在公元前第二个千年中研究了埃及和近东之间的图案和文化传播的研究。由于大量必要的恢复工作和对材料的科学分析的实用性，Mainz的RGZM已被任命为第三个项目合作伙伴。该项目的重点是针对物体的肖像和功能表征以及金色成分的科学研究，金片的背景类型和材料和生产技术的材料。关于肖像学，在金片的描述中可以观察到埃及和“国际”主题，有时是相互联系的。不同的学者认为，这些物体属于近东，地中海东部和埃及的所谓国际青铜时代的国际风格。该项目将在此项目中进行严格修订。正如在项目的第一阶段（2014-2016）中发现的那样，在本申请中，该项目延长了一年，直到2017年12月，该项目的延伸时间比预期的要多得多。
