A number of gold pieces of artwork found in King Tutankhamen's tomb made in Syria have been revealed for the first time in almost a century.
Almost 100 decorative fittings for bow cases, quivers and bridles were transported hundreds of miles to be placed in the Pharaoh's 3,340 year old tomb.
Their story can finally be told after they lay in a wooden box for more than 90 years after being discovered by British archaeologist Howard Carter in 1922.
The box had laid undisturbed in a Cairo museum for decades before researchers spent four years restoring its deteriorated contents.
