Bronze mask, late bronze age (LBIII) 1400-1150 BC. Masks of this type were also made of pottery. They were
possible used as insets for larger statues made of wood. This example has
two holes at the top on either side and it is possible that these held horns and
represented a Sherden warrior. The Sherden were one of the groups of the Sea Peoples who are
depicted on the Medinet Habu reliefs as having horned helmets. |
