Description from the seller

➜ This wooden funerary mask piece inspired by Ancient Egyptian burial traditions. The mask depicts a stylised human face with carefully painted facial features and a blue headdress, echoing the visual language of masks used in funerary and ritual contexts.

The surface displays intentional ageing, including paint wear, surface abrasions, and natural-looking cracks, giving the piece strong visual depth and a timeworn character. Traces of original-style pigment remain visible across the face and headdress, enhancing its sculptural presence. A small hole at the top reflects traditional hanging or mounting methods often associated with display pieces.

• Ancient Egyptian funerary mask inspired by traditional burial art

• Hand carved from wood with carefully applied painted details

• Aged surface with visible wear and pigment loss, enhancing its historical character

• Decorative and sculptural presence that stands out in any display setting

• Ideal for collectors, interior décor, or Egyptian-themed and educational collections
