| dc.description | With its small size and childlike facial features, this mask probably belonged to the anthropoid coffin of an aristocratic child. The dark skin of the face identifies the gender as male since the artistic convention was to represent females, who did not spend time outdoors, with white skin. The mask is crowned by a black wig and was attached to its coffin with four wooden pegs. | |
