Unearthed by the renowned archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann in 1876 at Mycenae, the Mask of Agamemnon is a gold funeral mask from the late Bronze Age.
Though it is named after the legendary Greek king Agamemnon, it likely predates him by several centuries. This haunting and intricate artifact is believed to have adorned the face of a high-ranking Mycenaean noble in death.
