Sarcophagus of Amenhotep II : false eyes

The sarcophagus can be found in the burial chamber. It is made of yellow quartzite. One of the long side presents two false eyes usually positioned near the head, so the mummy could look out. The yellow paint also reminds the golden skin of deity and the Chamber of the Gold, the name usually employed to indicate the burial chamber.
