”The first gilded silver mummy mask in Egypt since 1939“ Well I just hadda see THIS! Not as fantastic as I hoped for but still, something to see. A face from the past, illuminated for us in silver. https://www.realmofhistory.com/2018/07/16/mummy-silver-gilded-mask-saqqara-egypt/

It’ll look better after the conservators get it cleaned up.
