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.
