Egyptian wooden mummy mask

£200

A striking small mummy mask carved from a single piece of wood.

Although the piece is eroded several details can still be seen and the overall features are retained. Traces of original black painting can be seen around the eyes and eyebrows.

Two dowel holes are visible on the back, these would have been used to attach the mask to its sarcophagus.

Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 730 - 332 BC.

Condition as shown in the photographs, no repairs.

Size: 11.6 x 8.5 cms
