Third Intermediate Period Sarcophagus Mask on Stand

Originates from: Egypt 

Era: 1070 - 664 BCE

Dimensions: 15” H x 7” W x 3” D 

Beautiful wooden sarcophagus mask of the Third Intermediate Period (1070 - 664 BCE) of ancient Egypt featuring minimal but extremely effective remnants of painted decoration - especially in makeup detailing surrounding the eyes. Retaining lovely shape and sculptural presence in both facial and wig regions, this is a beautiful example that both shows the craftsmanship of ancient Egyptian culture and carries the emotional weight of character  developed over millennia. Displayed on contemporary metal stand. 

Provenance: from large Toronto collection of antiquities.
