Viggen Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Here are the two images of the mask, where did you take them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlapse Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Hmmm, I'm guessing a Doric death mask? Or maybe a theatre mask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pompeius magnus Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 I think it probably is a theatre mask. At first glance I thought etruscan, but the material doesn't match the material that ancient etruscan maskes used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas279 Posted October 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 If you look closely on the sides, you will see small holes. Does that help? How old would that be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlapse Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Yes, almost definitely a theatre mask, conisdering the holes on the side and the eye-holes. Not sure about the civilization, although it definitely seems ancient Greek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonlapse Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 It almost looks like it used to be painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas279 Posted October 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 No, there did not seem to be any paint. It was wet when the pictures were taken as we did clean it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pompeius magnus Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Where was it when you took the pictures. do you know any background on the mask, that would help in the identification of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
