I went to the King Tut exhibit here at the Dallas Museum of Art Saturday. Had been holding off until my one brother came here on business.
Egypt doesn’t let Tut’s funerary mask, the solid gold baby, out of the country anymore. But, there was plenty of stuff to see otherwise.
That said, my brother has been to Egypt and bought related trinkets there. At the DMA’s special gift shop for the event, being run by the company putting on the Tut extravaganza at various sites around the world?
Not much Egyptian-made.
Plenty of Egyptian-themed crapola, though, moderately to highly overpriced in many cases, and…
Either labeled as “made in China” or with no country of origin label (in which case I always assume Chinese creation).
