Description
A mask for a young woman. The lower part of the mask is missing; it seems that it has extended to cover the entire chest area. The woman wears an Egyptian wig with a garland. The mask manifests straight eyebrows, wide almond eyes looking upward, and high large Egyptian ears. The mask is golden and seems to be for an eminent figure, probably a priestess.
