What
a neat item for that Ancient Worlds lover. This is a wonderful Ancient
Egyptian wooden burial mask also referred to as a mummy mask. This mask
was fashioned from a single piece of wood. The mask shows a rather large
face with wide nose and large almond shaped eyes. Please note that this
mask merely Resembles the Great Pharaoh Akhenaten . The elongated narrow
face is similar to the artistry seen of Akhenaten and 10th Dynasty art.The
facial features have an almost proud and noble look. The condition of
this is excellent with geusso applied to protect the wood and help the
marvelous realistic paint adhere. The whole mask has been painted in life
like colors. There is some cracking to the Geusso near the crown as shown.
