Head of a funerary couch, in the shape of Ammit 😛
Ammit is a celestial beast who bestows final judgement on the deceased and devours the unjust in the court of Osiris.
Populalrly depicted in funerary texts like the Book of the Dead, Ammit is usually a combination of a crocodile's head, the front legs of a lion, and the hindquarters of a hippopotamus.
Found among three ritual funerary couches in Tutankhamun's antechamber and made of stuccoed gilded wood with each animal's eyes inlaid with colored glass paste, this particular couch is variedly composed of a curiously different configuration: a hippopotamus' head wearing a wig, a leopard's body, and a crocodile's tail and crest

Golden Throne of King Tutankhamun.
Tutankhamun, commonly referred to as King Tut, was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh who was the last of his royal family to rule during the end of the 18th Dynasty during the New Kingdom of Egyptian history. His father is believed to be the pharaoh Akhenaten, and His mother is his father's sister, identified through DNA testing as an unknown mummy referred to as "The Younger Lady" who was found in KV35.
Tutankhamun was between eight and nine years of age when he ascended the throne and became pharaoh. He was buried in a tomb that was unusually small considering his status. There were 5,398 items found in the tomb, including a solid gold coffin, thrones, face mask, archery bows, sandals, trumpets, a lotus chalice, gold toe stalls, furniture, food, wine, and fresh linen underwear.

Details of the paintings on the north wall of Tutankhamun's tomb. The scenes must be interpreted from right to left, thus the first represents the ceremony of the Opening of the mouth, an ancient funerary ritual that consisted of touching different parts of the mummy's body with an adze to restore the senses it had in life and so we can have them in the afterlife. Ay, vizier and successor of Tutankhamun wears the blue crown or war headdress “jepresh”, the leopard skin of the sem priests (funerary priest) and is preparing to carry out the ceremony on the mummy of the king who is represented as if was the god of the underworld Osiris.
In the second image, the goddess Nut, divinity of the night sky, is seen welcoming Tutankhamun who is holding a staff, a mace and the ankh (life) symbol.
The third and final scene, Tutankhamun, held by his ka, the "life force" (for the Egyptians a component of the human spirit), embraces the god Osiris, lord of the Underworld and Judge of the Dead.
