There are three major symbols on King Tut's mask:

"Ra," the Sun God is the most prominent symbol.
There is a snake, which is the symbol for Upper Egypt.
There is a vulture, the symbol for Lower Egypt.
The final symbols on the mask are hieroglyphics spelling out the name, "King Tutankhamum".

You didn't ask, but the mask was made (mostly) of gold in 1323 BC, and was found in 1922 by archeologist Howard Carter in the Valley of the Kings.

very nearly each and every tomb in egypt replaced into "cursed" as in a curse replaced into written on or over the door to the tomb. even if or not they meant something replaced right into a count number of opinion. The legend of this actual curse is attributed to the premature lack of life of Lord Carnarvon, Howard Carter's customer, who died of blood poisoning after a mosquito chew he received at the same time as in egypt for the tomb's beginning grew to change into contaminated. yet Howard Carter himself, who opened the tomb, and a number of of different others present lived lengthy lives. If the curse replaced into authentic, Carter might want to were the single maximum effected.
