Chinqua Penn Plantation is displaying an exciting exhibit of ancient Egyptian artifacts as well as a replica of the golden Throne chair of King Tut-ankh-amen (King Tut) the famous 9-year-old Egyptian king.
In 1929, while on world tour, Jeff and Betsy Penn commissioned E. Hautoun of Cairo, Egypt to have this chair reproduced. Other pieces include a faience necklace, an ivory fail, and a 1600 BC bronze figure of Horus, son of Osiris. There will be several other exciting pieces to view.
Chinqua Penn provides a multicultural experience and represents artifacts from thirty or more countries.
The exhibit can be seen August 1 through August 30. Please check under the "Special Events" tab for more exciting exhibits to come.
