Description

Remains of plant material were found around the head area and analysis indicated that the matter likely came from the medium sized evergreen tree Mimusops laurifolia which has leathery leaves much like a laurel tree.The ancient Egyptians,according to Greek classical writer Theophrastus Persea (Mimusops laurifolia) grew abundantly in the Theban region of ancient EgyptAncient Egyptian Materials and Technology-Persea. Trees of the Mimusops genus are still found in Ethiopia,Yemen and Arabia today.Bandages can still be seen in the chest area of the mask.It was found with only one eye and its eyebrows are made of blue glass. Underwent conservation in 2002. Mask thought to have been found somewhere within the large burial grounds of Thebes or Akhim, both used extensively in this period.

العربية: الواجهة مطلية باللون الأزرق والبني ومتنوعة الألوان تصور التصاميم الهندسية والأشكال البشرية والحيوانات مذهب. تم العثور على بقايا مواد نباتية حول منطقة الرأس، وأشار التحليل إلى أن هذه المادة من المحتمل أن تكون من شجرة دائمة الخضرة متوسطة الحجم " نبخ غاري الأوراق" والتي لها أوراق جلدية تشبه إلى حد كبير شجرة الغار. والمصريون القدماء وفقًا للكاتب اليوناني الكلاسيكي ثاوفرسطس بلاد فارس ("Mimusops laurifolia") نمت بكثرة في منطقة طيبة في مصر القديمة Ancient Egyptian Materials and Technology-Persea. لا تزال أشجار جنس نبخ موجودة في إثيوبيا واليمن والجزيرة العربية اليوم. لا يزال من الممكن رؤية الضمادات في منطقة الصدر من القناع ، وقد تم العثور عليها بعين واحدة فقط وحواجبها مصنوعة من زجاج أزرق. خضع للحفظ في عام 2002. يُعتقد أنه تم العثور على قناع في مكان ما داخل مقابر كبيرة لـ طيبة أو أخيم ، وكلاهما استخدم على نطاق واسع في هذه الفترة.
