Isn't the story supposed to be that when Schliemann pulled away the mask, for a moment the face it had covered, perfectly intact, stared back up at him, then crumbled away to dust? Okay, okay...it sounds all overblown and Victorian, but still...

The Bulgarian mask is a lot more sophisticated, isn't it? Look at the modeling of the ears, for example.
