Above the low forehead is a preserved fragment of a wig; below is a recess with remnants of adhesive, in which an eyebrow made of a different material was probably attached. Almond-shaped eye, preserved eye socket with a thick layer of adhesive, in which an eye made of a different material was placed. Long, slender nose preserved in its entirety, except for the left cover of the nostril. Mouth with thin lips and slightly upturned corners. Traces of mortar preserved throughout, with minimal remnants of beige paint. On the reverse, a stepped niche is carved at mouth level, also showing traces of mortar. The chin has space for a beard. A knot is present on the right cheek. Face height: 17 cm. c. 1400–c. 1295 BC; New Kingdom, late 18th Dynasty decline. Find location: Deir el-Medina. Sarcophagus mask; height 18.5 cm, width 9 cm, depth 4.5 cm., A weathered wooden plank with rough, uneven edges and a vertical orientation stands against a plain background; the wood shows a mix of brown and gray tones with lighter, flaking patches and visible grain and cracks, along with several small holes and notches. Near the upper area a small metal ring is attached to the surface beside a small paper fragment; lower on the plank there is a recessed, carved section with layered, ridged inner surfaces. The background is a smooth, neutral gray.
