Large Ancient Egyptian cedar wood Sarcophagus Mummy Mask on customized stand. The mask has a soft weathered surface and great expression. This fine piece depicts the facial features of a young male. His traits are rendered with great sensitivity, particularly his slightly arched eyebrows, the slender nose and plump lips raised in a faint smile. 
The mask contains four sockets, arranged in a U-shape on the perimeter, still containing the retaining fragments of the wooden pins which would have integrated the face in the overall design of the coffin. 

The mask is showing the frontal view of an idealised face. Though they seldom portrayed a true portrait of the deceased, funerary masks were an essential component of the mummy, providing a visual representation of the deceased during their journey through the afterlife. 

The mask comes with the customized stand for perfect display.
