Sekmeht Mask

Description

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!

what is realy interesting is that king tutankahman suposed son of amenhotep III brought back the gods of the old kingdom. however even then there were signs of the god amenhotep had used amen rah.

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