Wooden mask of very dark color, still preserving traces of polychromy. The face has an ochre tone. The eyebrows, pupils and eyes' outline are painted in black, while the cornea is white yellowish, achieving a deep and realistic expression. It was used for covering the deceased's head, in the manner of a sarcophagus lid, while the body was covered with a more perishable material. The wig that usually goes with this kind of object is missing.
