Abstract

A study of a group of linen and plaster mummy masks from Deir el-Bahri, dating to the third century AD, with an Appendix listing 26 known examples. The first publication of a female mask in Dublin, National Museum of Ireland 1901:79, introduces a discussion of the group's iconographic and stylistic characteristics. This is followed by a presentation of archaeological evidence gleaned from excavations carried out at the site by the Egypt Exploration Fund in the 1890s and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the 1920s.
