Item Details

Description

Egypt, Ptolemaic Period, ca. 305 to 30 BCE. Masterfully crafted from imported wood layered with gesso and linen, a colossal mummy mask depicting a male visage of a remarkably human yet theatrical countenance, his features include very large, dramatically lined open eyes gazing steadfastly ahead, framed by elegant brows that lead to a straight nose, and gently smiling lips above a pointy chin, with a gold-ochre complexion, and a long tripartite black wig with hair behind his ears. Adorning his chest is a complex narrative scene that depicts a worshipper on the right adoring Osiris with an offering table containing food between them. Osiris wears an Atef crown and behind him is an Atef feathered crown with a uraeus upon a stand which may indicate the province from whence it came. A superb example that exudes a sense of human aliveness despite the fact that it belongs to this funerary tradition. Size: 19.75" W x 24.5" H (50.2 cm x 62.2 cm); 26.5" H (67.3 cm) on stand
