Mummy mask of an official

Mummy mask of an official

The face of this man has been rendered in a very formal manner but is rich in detail. The structure of the hair of the eyebrows has been elaborately crafted, as have the moustache and the beard. He is wearing a precious diadem on his heavy wig, a collar consisting of several rows of beads and a necklace.
