Ancient Egypt, faience beaded mask
Ancient Egypt, faience beaded mask
Late Period, 664-332 BC
This remarkable object is a beaded funerary mask, made with multi-coloured faience beads (so-called mummy beads). As is common, the authentic ancient beads have been re-strung into original configuration.
The mask would have been placed over the facial area of the mummy and depicts the deceased wearing the beard of Osiris. Double zig-zag border around.
