This mask depicts the imposing face of a bearded noble man. It is made of a gold sheet with repoussé details. Two holes near the ears indicate that the mask was held in place of the deceased's face with twine. This mask is believed to be a fake due to the high level of detail, such as the beard and ears. No other mask of it's type has a similar amount of detail. |
