Didier Attaix Posted November 17, 2023 · Supporter Posted November 17, 2023 Hello everybody, I recently bought in Drouot Paris a beautiful mummy mask in excellent condition, Late Period, H 23 cm for €650 (see first picture) By contrast, in the very same sale an awful mask, sold for more, see second picture. I barely understand such stupid rationale. In addition, again in this sale, many copies of wooden servants of Middle Kingdom date, which were correctly advertised as copies, sold for a fortune : for example a group of servants with an estimation of €200-300 sold for €1600! Best, Didier 3 Quote
antwerpen2306 Posted November 19, 2023 · Member Posted November 19, 2023 I think because your mask is classical style, the second has a special and unusual form : nose and face. I have a similar as yours, bought in 1972. 23 cm x 16.5 cm x 10,5 cm, Saitic period 664-525 BC 1 Quote
