Painted, gilded mummy mask of a woman with a broad wig and floral headdress element, shown front-facing on a dark background.
The image shows an anthropoid mummy mask/figure in three-quarter frontal view. The female face has arched eyebrows, almond-shaped dark-lined eyes, a small mouth with red pigment, and a pale plaster-like surface. The head and shoulders are framed by a dark, curly wig that extends to both sides. A decorative gold-toned collar necklace sits across the chest, with additional gold beads/strands and a blue/green garment section visible under the collar. The headdress includes pink/rose-colored floral or rosette elements at the top center and a radiating band or patterned collar behind/around them. The hands are visible at the lower center/left-right: both are painted with nails and jewelry/glossy gold cuffs, with the right hand holding/posed near a small object-like form. The background is plain black; there is no clearly legible inscription in the provided image.
