13667. Egyptian Wood Painted Sarcophagus Mask Late Period, Circa 712 to 300 BCThis one is quite an interesting study piece, it shows what a mummy case looks like after grave robbers have wrenched the face off to sell, where are the ancient human remains, were they treated with more respect than the ancient coffin?
