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.

该项目旨在对公元前14世纪的图坦卡蒙墓中的88件带有象征性装饰的金片进行修复、考古、技术和考古调查，以及比较图像学和艺术史研究。这项研究是埃及学的一个重要问题，因为它是图坦卡蒙墓中唯一一组尚未得到满意研究的物品。由于金箔上经常出现近东图案，该项目由DAI Kairo与<s:1>宾根大学近东考古学合作组织。这使得研究主题的交流和文化交流在埃及和近东地区在公元前第二个千年。由于大量必要的修复工作和对材料的科学分析，美因茨RGZM被指定为第三个项目合作伙伴。项目的重点是物体的图像和功能特征，以及黄金成分的科学研究，金箔的类型和材料以及生产技术。关于图像，埃及和“国际”主题，有时相互联系，可以在金箔上的描绘中观察到。不同的学者认为，这表明这些物品属于所谓的青铜时代晚期的国际风格，在近东、东地中海和埃及。这一假设将在本项目中进行严格修订。由于在项目的第一阶段（2014-2016年）检测到的金片物体比预期的要多，因此在本申请中寻求将项目延长一年，直到2017年12月。
