 This is a golden shirne with a different goddess figure on each side. |
 Like many Egyptians, Tutanchamum enjoyed a game of Senet. To play you throw sticks and move your counters in an S shape starting at the top left. There are good luck and bad luck symbols on the board, so it is rather like an early form of Snakes & Ladders. |
