mask

The oval face represents a man or perhaps a deity. The face has holes of various shapes and sizes representing the eyes, nostrils and mouth; the nose is a gentle protrusion. There are small holes all around the skull, presumably to hold tufts of real hair. The entire face was apparently painted ochre, or orange-yellow, and still bears visible traces of that color. There is a deep hole under the neck, which suggests that the face was once fixed to a post and was probably used in cult ceremonias

A collection of stucco masks

A collection of stucco masks, some with the eyes empty while others have them painted. The masks show the head and the neck only. They were usually put on the recumbent mummy.

They were made by casting the stucco in molds. Coal was used to color the hair black, while gold was used to paint jewelry such as earrings, necklaces and head bindings.

There are numerous examples in which the mask is completely painted with gold. It is obvious that these masks have been refurbished.
