Tutankhamun’s gold mask back on display in Egypt after beard restoration

Ancient artefact returns to Cairo museum after two months' work to fix botched repair that left visible crust of glue

Egypt has put the restored gold mask of Tutankhamun back on display after German experts removed glue applied in a botched repair when the priceless artefact's beard fell off.

The restored mask - back in its display case at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo - was shown to journalists after more than two months' work by a team of German experts.
