Description and Provenance Ancient mummy covering dating to the Late Period, circa 700 to 300 B.C. Made from gesso (painted plaster) over linen with the face nicely gilded, this cartonnage mask was taken from a male mummy and is shown wearing a deep black beard, nice chest pectoral panel in shades of red, white, blue and black, large black and white almond-shaped eyes, blue gray border. 14"W x 12"H, in generally excellent condition with a few minor cracks, but reasonably sturdy and would look great custom framed -- which we can help the new owner with acquiring.
