This is the rating and price for Egyptian Faience Cup W/ King Tut Cartouche - Tl Tested, 2009

Description : Egypt, New Kingdom, 18th Dynasty, ca. 1333 to 1323 BCE. A green glazed faience cup, cylindrical and tapering in form, with a gently flared rim and a flat foot, the exterior wall of one side adorned with a panel that contains a black-painted King Tutankhamun (also spelled Tutankhamen and Tutankhamon, byname King Tut) cartouche (an oval ring that contains the pharoah's name) beside an untranslated though legible hieroglyph inscription. Similar cups are inscribed with dedications to Sokar, the Egyptian god of the underworld, and we believe these cups were made for funerary purposes, perhaps to hold offerings.
