The mask protected the head and gave the mummy a beautiful face with golden skin, just like the gods.
The masks’ appearance varied during different time periods. During the Greco-Roman period the influence of Greek art can clearly be seen in the more individually crafted plaster masks that often were
part of the coffin.
Another type of mask was the painted wood panels that were laid on the mummy’s face.
The first masks of this type were found in the Faiyum. Therefore they are called Faiyum portraits, even though they are found all over Egypt.</pres:content><pres:context><pres:event xml:lang="en">Förvärvad</pres:event><pres:nameLabel xml:lang="en">Dinkelspiel, Max</pres:nameLabel></pres:context><pres:context><pres:event xml:lang="en">Funnen</pres:event><pres:placeLabel xml:lang="en">Afrika, Egypten, Faiyum</pres:placeLabel></pres:context><pres:context><pres:event xml:lang="en">Ägd</pres:event><pres:nameLabel xml:lang="en">Nationalmuseum, Stockholm</pres:nameLabel></pres:context><pres:image><pres:mediaType>image/jpeg</pres:mediaType><pres:src type="thumbnail">https://collections.smvk.se/carlotta-mhm/web/image/tn/4014485/image.jpg</pres:src><pres:src type="lowres">https://collections.smvk.se/carlotta-mhm/web/image/zoom/4014484/image.jpg</pres:src><pres:mediaLicense>http://kulturarvsdata.se/resurser/License#by</pres:mediaLicense><pres:byline xml:lang="en">Medelhavsmuseet 2013</pres:byline><pres:copyright xml:lang="en">Statens museer för världskultur</pres:copyright></pres:image><pres:references><pres:reference>http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-MM/Photograph/3980993</pres:reference><pres:reference>http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-MM/Photograph/4015988</pres:reference><pres:reference>http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-MM/exhibition/3998554</pres:reference><pres:reference>http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-MM/exhibition/3953643</pres:reference><pres:reference>http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-MM/exhibitionpart/4000961</pres:reference><pres:reference>http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-MM/exhibitionpart/3953833</pres:reference><pres:reference>http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-MM/showcase/4034577</pres:reference><pres:reference>http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-EM/name/26774811</pres:reference></pres:references><pres:representations><pres:representation format="HTML">http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-MM/objekt/html/3981027</pres:representation><pres:representation format="XML">http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-MM/objekt/xml/3981027</pres:representation><pres:representation format="RDF">http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-MM/objekt/rdf/3981027</pres:representation></pres:representations></pres:item>
