Description
When I was at the Metropolitan Museum of Art last week in NYC, I fell in love all over again with Egyptian art. The rows of black basalt Sekmeht statues impressed me so much, I just had to make a black version of my Sekmeht mask.

Sekmeht is the Egyptian goddess of war and chaos and sudden disasters, and I think it's so cool that the Egyptians depicted her as a female, a lioness. Says alot about Ancient Egypt's culture.

Like all my masks, this one is hand carved & hand shaped from 8oz leather. I used Liquitex acrylic paints for the black and gold. I wanted to simulate the look of a gilded basalt statue.

This mask is available in my Etsy shop right now: [link]
