Funerary mask of Wendjebauendjed - a photo on Flickriver

Funerary mask of Wendjebauendjed

            The eyes of the mask, miraculously intact, are made of glass paste of different colours inserted into cavities in the metal: white for the eyeballs and black for the pupils. The eyebrows and the outlines of the eyes are rendered with the same technique. The nose is virtually perfect in form. The lips are narrow and fleshy. The ears are not symmetrical as the left-hand one projects further than the right.

Wendjebauendjed (Undjebauendjed) was an ancient Egyptian general, high dignitary and high priest during the reign of pharaoh Psusennes I of the 21st Dynasty. He is mainly known for his intact tomb found by Pierre Montet inside the royal necropolis of Tanis (NRT III)
