Funerary Mask of a Woman

New Kingdom

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 116

The full, elaborate wig with its ornamental fillet, the necklace of ball beads and pendant nefer signs, and the woman's facial features are similar to the sculpture and painting style of middle of Dynasty 18. The owner was probably the wife of an overseer of builders named Amenhotep, whose mask (30.8.69) is displayed in the same gallery.
