A stunt Book of Amun-Ra from Stephen Sommers' action-adventure The Mummy. The Book of Amun-Ra, known as the "Book of the Living", was one of two prominent Ancient Egyptian artefacts to appear in the film, discovered in a chest located under a statue of Horus. An inscription from the book was read aloud by Evelyn Carnahan (Rachel Weisz) causing Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo) to lose his immortality.

The stunt book is made from a combination of foam and rubber, finished in varying shades of faux gold. Intricately decorated, the front cover features curved line detailing, an Egyptian hieroglyph insignia on the left side, and raised scarab beetle emblems. A large circular resin lock section displays an embedded sun-shaped emblem and an Eye of Ra insignia at the centre. An ornate spine displaying 12 ribbed strands runs down the left side, and four vulture-like clasps are inserted into the beetle emblems. Egyptian hieroglyphs featuring the Eye of Ra adorn the back. The book exhibits minor paint wear, and some cracking is present along the page edges, exposing the foam. Dimensions: 35.5 cm x 37 cm x 12 cm (14" x 14 1/2" x 4 3/4")
