A gilded and polychromatic ancient Egyptian mummy mask is displayed vertically within a glass exhibition case at the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery in Birmingham, United Kingdom. The mask features a golden face with prominent black and white eyes and dark eyebrows. The head and upper body are encased in a painted shroud or cartonnage, predominantly beige, red, and black. The headdress above the face is decorated with red, black, and gold patterns, including a red sun disc-like motif on the forehead. The chest area of the mask displays intricate artwork, including two prominent seated figures in red on a beige background, facing each other. The figure on the viewer's left is human-like, while the figure on the right has an avian head, suggestive of a deity. Below these figures, the mask is covered with multiple horizontal bands of geometric and symbolic patterns, featuring black, red, and beige colors, incorporating checkered designs and floral rosettes. The mask rests on a textured white plinth, partially obscuring its lower section. The immediate background behind the glass case is a plain light blue wall, with two visible overhead spotlights reflecting on the top edge of the enclosure.
