Iron Maiden Powerslave Mummy Eddie Christmas Ornament Egyptian Pharaoh Design Holiday Decoration Chain Bandage Heavy Metal Band Collectible Tree Ornament Gift For Metal Music Fans

This Iron Maiden Powerslave Mummy Eddie Christmas Ornament celebrates one of the most iconic album covers in heavy metal history from the band’s legendary fifth studio album released September 3, 1984 in Europe and September 14, 1984 in the United States through EMI and Capitol Records, which debuted at number 2 on the UK Albums Chart and reached number 12 on the US Billboard 200, achieving platinum certification in both territories. The ornament features Eddie the Head wrapped in Egyptian mummy bandages with pharaoh headdress and chains, directly inspired by Derek Riggs’ monumental album artwork depicting Eddie as an enslaved pharaoh standing before massive pyramids and sphinxes in Ancient Egypt, with the album’s title track telling the story of a dying Egyptian pharaoh lamenting the limits of his earthly power and vowing to “strike from the grave” in a reference to the infamous mummy’s curse. This Egyptian mythology theme was carried over into Iron Maiden’s epic World Slavery Tour that launched August 9, 1984 in Warsaw, Poland and concluded July 5, 1985 in Irvine, California after 189 shows across 331 consecutive days visiting 28 countries, making it the longest and most exhausting tour in the band’s history and earning a place in the Guinness World Records. The elaborate stage set featured 30-foot tall mummified Eddie animatronics, massive sarcophagi, monumental pedestals several stories high, and extensive pyrotechnics that bassist Steve Harris described as “probably the best stage show we ever did,” with the theatrical production filling massive venues like Radio City Music Hall in New York and culminating in a performance before an estimated 350,000 people at the inaugural Rock in Rio festival in Brazil on January 19, 1985 as special guests of Queen. The Powerslave album contains heavy metal classics including the singles “2 Minutes to Midnight” about nuclear war and “Aces High” about the Battle of Britain, along with “The Trooper,” “Flight of Icarus,” and the 13-minute epic “Rime of the Ancient Mariner” based on Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s poem which remained Iron Maiden’s longest song for 31 years until “Empire of the Clouds” in 2015. This tour was documented in the legendary double live album Live After Death recorded at Long Beach Arena in California and Hammersmith Odeon in London, which peaked at number 2 in the UK and became one of the greatest live albums in rock history, while the Behind the Iron Curtain documentary captured Iron Maiden as the first Western rock band to take a full stage production into Eastern Bloc countries including Poland, Hungary, and Yugoslavia during the Cold War. This collectible ornament honors a defining moment in Iron Maiden’s 50-year career when they cemented their status as heavy metal legends through ambitious concept albums drawing inspiration from history, literature, and mythology, currently celebrating their golden anniversary on the 2025 Run For Your Lives world tour having sold over 130 million records worldwide with founding bassist Steve Harris, original guitarist Dave Murray, vocalist Bruce Dickinson, guitarists Adrian Smith and Janick Gers, plus new drummer Simon Dawson who replaced Nicko McBrain in December 2024 after his 42-year tenure that began with Powerslave.
