Male Mask - Item #267
16.75 Inches High x 11.5 Inches Wide x 5.5 Inches Deep
This mask is from Bust of a Man, Item #723. It is unconfirmed in the field of art history as to who the bust represents. Contenders are the Greek poet Aratus (315 BCE-240 BCE), the Macedonian officer and king Lysimachus (c. 360 BCE-281 BCE), and the Athenian statesman and orator Demosthenes (384 BCE-322 BCE). We created the mask from the bust.
