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        

a kind piece. I was thrilled to collect        

it in Egypt in person October 2018         

and felt very overwhelmed when I saw          

it. The attention to detail and           

accuracy is exquisite. From the              beaded necklaces, hair,             gold leafed cobra,lapis blue eyeliner,            
I have never seen a modern             
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.
