Artist's Comments

I've done a series of Egyptian masks...this one is Sekmeht.

Sekmeht is the Egyptian goddess of war & is usually depicted as a golden lioness. King Tut's throne had a wonderful pair of lioness heads carved into the arms that I used as an inspiration for this piece, but it's still my own original design.

This looks like gold but is really one piece of leather...shiny!

If you like my work, please visit my Etsy shop where this mask & many others are available to buy: [link]

The Egyptian feel of the lion-face is spot-on, and the metallic textures of the leather are simply amazing!

That's awesome! I didn't even realize the thumbnail in my box was from you, 'cause I thought it was actually metal. ;P Great work!

That is awesome! It's seriously got an ancient egyptian feel to it, and it really pulls off that old-gold look.
