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:

you did an excelent job imitating the cinibar and the lapis lazuli stone as well as the golden effect of the mask itself.

I copied a traditional design technique from ancient Egypt re; the ears. That's a sun motif, used to revere the sun god Ra. It's so stylized...I really love the rays.
great work!
(all of it
Thank you!
No, that is a REALLY great paint. I use Liquitex Bright Gold acrylic paint (seen here: [link] )...it's from their line of metallic paints & I LOVE it because it is so bright & "real" looking, & yet retains its colorfastness & goes on so easily. Great for any kind of surface you might want to use acrylics on, including fabric.
