A gilded one is seen on King Tut's crown (5)

I believe the answer is:

cobra

(Other definitions for cobra that I've seen before include "Something with a hood" , "venomous type" , "Highly venomous hooded reptile" , "Venomous Asiatic and African elapid snake" , "One with hood" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
