Gilded Wooden Mask from the Coffin of Amenemope

Another exhibit from the Ramses II and the Zhold of the Pharaohs exhibition at the Australian Museum in Sydney.
This made of gold, wood, bronze, carnelian and lapis lazuli.
And it comes from the third intermediate period. Dynasty 21. Some 3,000 years ago.
