About this asset
Gilded wooden funerary mask from Greco-Roman Egypt, likely dating to the Ptolemaic or early Roman period, featuring a naturalistic human face covered in gold leaf and crowned with a detailed polychrome floral wreath in red, blue, and green tones. Such masks were placed over the wrapped heads of mummies to represent the deceased in the afterlife, blending ancient Egyptian funerary traditions with Hellenistic artistic influences. This artifact is housed at the Greco-Roman Museum in Alexandria, located on Museum Street behind the old governorate building.
