This funerary gold mask originally covered the face of the mummy of Wendjebauendjed.

 An army general of Psusennes I. Colored glass paste forms the eyes and eyebrows. The general’s face is idealized and detailed, with a slight smile. 

From tomb NRT III at Tanis. Third Intermediate Period, 21st Dynasty, reign of Psusennes I, ca. 1047-1001 BC. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo.
