British Museum Top 20 05 Satdjehuty Mummy Mask  [11 of 30]


5. Satdjehuty mummy mask - Thebes Egypt, about 1500 BC, 33cm high. The burial of Satdjehuty was discovered around 1820. The winged head-dress on this mask is a feature found on funerary headpieces and coffins, and perhaps denotes protection of the deceased by a deity.
