One of the most intricately decorated objects in the tomb of Tutankhamun, this chest, which was found in the Antechamber, illustrates the innovation of the frenzied battle. 

A fierce confrontation takes place on both sides of the box; pictured here is the king in his chariot fighting against the Asiatics. On the other side the king battles against the Nubians. Scenes such as these were the apparent influence for the artists who composed the military reliefs for the pharaohs of the Nineteenth Dynasty, where the enemy is also frequently depicted as a confused mass without the traditional registers.
