funerary mask

Funerary mask of great realism, to be placed directly on the deceased's face. It shows a man of dark, curly hair, falling over his forehead, with a straight nose and big mouth. The eyes are done with mica, and the pupils are black, what gives him a sharp and realistic look, reflecting new artistic trends introduced by Greeks and Romans.
