WHY I HAVE A DEATH MASK
Crafted entirely by hand out of wood
and covered in a limestone plaster by the
artist Atif in Luxor, it took 4 months
of detailed work to create this one of

death mask in Egyptian style
before this one. Many people
will think it is strange, but I do
love it...after all life is short and
death is for eternity.
