This delicately modeled mask, which combines Egyptian and Roman customs, adorned the coffin lid of a young woman. Although the mask was created from a mold, realistic details have been added to give it a portrait-like quality.

 The young womanís lustrous, warm eyes are painted and glazed. Her skin is painted a pale yellow-pink, and her long black hair falls in waves. The edge of her pale blue dress frames her full neck, a symbol of wealth and prosperity, and a pink cloak covers her shoulder. The mask's excellent condition and superb workmanship make it exceedingly rare.
