Description

Funerary mask; Egypt, Ptolemaic period, 323- 30 BC. Colored vitreous paste. Attached certificate issued by Bagot. Measurements: 12 x 15 cm; 35 x 19, 5 cm (base). Mask of beads of different colors joined with new linen thread. In Ancient Egypt, the sarcophagus was related to the embalming and mummification rituals, thought for the deceased to reach eternal life. During the Middle Empire, the custom arose of placing masks made of linen and a paste similar to cardboard over the face and shoulders of the deceased. From this fact gives rise to the appearance of the first anthropomorphic sarcophagi, coffins themselves, with human form, almost always made of wood. They will be pieces ornamented with painted scenes and texts, of funerary symbology. However, in general terms, the sarcophagus of the New Empire, mainly the royal sarcophagus, will be characterized by having a rectangular shape, in imitation of the oldest examples of the New Empire. However, the anthropomorphic type of coffin will be extended throughout the centuries until the end of the Pharaonic world. Attached is a certificate issued by Bagot.
