Authentic Ancient Egyptian Mummy-Masks
All Egyptian items I buy or sell have been legally exported from Egypt prior to international trade laws forbidding such activities. The items are from old American and European collections where the items had been brought out of the country prior to the 1970 UNESCO Convention. Many were brought into the United States between 1920 and 1965, and have resided in private collections ever since.
This fantastic mask (shown below) was legally exported from Egypt in the early 1960's during a period when the Egyptian government was actually auctioning off tombs full of artifacts to the highest bidder, to be removed and exported at will. It then made its way legally through collections and auctions within the United States, until I was fortunate enough to purchase it back in 2006.

 Ancient Egypt, Late Period, 664-535 BC. A fantastic mummy-bead mask. In colors of bright blue, green, yellow, black, white and red. High quality ancient beads, re-strung into original configuration to reveal a beautiful and vibrant face. The mask, representing the face of the deceased, would have been attached to the wrappings of the mummy over the facial area, as shown in the photo of an example at left. It depicts the deceased wearing the beard of Osiris, a symbol of his/her hope for reincarnation. Amazing state of preservation!
