**Originally Listed At $450**
Ancient Egypt, Third Intermediate Period, 21st to 25th Dynasty, ca. 1070 to 664 BCE. A beautiful hand-carved mummy mask, of a tapered triangular form with a hanging neck line. The attractive visage is symmetrically oriented, with almond-shaped eyes and elongated canthi, a slender nose, full lips, shallow nasolabial folds, and slender brows beneath a squat forehead. The top of the verso still retains a large dowel with a knob-form end for attaching additional components like a headdress or crown. Layers of faded orange, red, and brown pigment are still present on the face, and traces of blue-green pigment is visible just beneath the chin. This mask perhaps belonged to a petite woman or adolescent youth given the scale and delicate nature of this mask. Size: 4.7" W x 7.75" H (11.9 cm x 19.7 cm); 13.4" H (34 cm) on included custom stand.
Provenance: private Honolulu, Hawaii, USA collection; ex-Palmyra Heritage Gallery, New York, USA, 2000s
