Full original description
Curious bronze mask whose model to lost wax has required a thorough work but which presents numerous damages that seem to be due to an imperfect foundry more than to its antiquity. It seems, in some areas, as if the mold had been broken and the molten metal had been scattered and the metal had not reached all areas. Being an elaborate piece of wax persity it is a unique piece. Greenish patina from past time.
