gold mask
Shiny facial covering
A gold mask is a ceremonial or funerary face covering made of gold, most famously associated with ancient burial practices.
The mask of Tutankhamun and the so-called Mask of Agamemnon are iconic examples.
Gold masks served to preserve the deceased's likeness or provide a divine face for the afterlife.
In modern use, gold mask may also refer to luxury skincare treatments containing gold particles: She treated herself to a gold mask facial.
