King Tut's Treasures From Cairo Museum Now Shown InBoston The Tutankhamun treasurers will be on exhibition at the Muse- II Ium of Fine Artts through March I :3. I Formerly these objects from King Tutankhamun's tomb have been on exhibition only at the Egyptian Museum of Cairo. Now, to stimulate interest in the efforts to save the Nubian monuments threatened with flooding by the Aswan Dam, the United Arab Re- public has allowed a group of 34 objects to tour North and South America. The group includes rings, amu- lets, collars of sheet gold, the king's favorite hunting dagger, a miniature coffin, the ceremonial crook and flail of gold and blue glass, libation jars, decorated chests and statuettes of the gods. These were things expected to be of use to the Pharaoh in the afterworld. A series of free lectures on Egyptian art will be given I throughout the exhibition. Admission is $1.00.
