It is from Egypt, In the Valley of the Kings.
Ironically, our greatest royal treasure from ancient Egypt comes from a short lived boy king.
Here is some information for you to read below;
http://www.guardians.net/egypt/tut1.htm
Inside Tutankhamun's tomb contained four gilded shrines nested one inside the other.
The innermost of these covered a stone sarcophagus. Inside that were three coffins - the innermost being made of 110 kilograms of solid gold. Inside that lay the pharaoh himself wearing the famous gold mask.

Presumably from King Tut's tomb when it was discovered.

Huh? His own mummified body's sarcophagus.
