Athens — Mask of Agamemnon
Artifact · Disputed · Mycenae, Greece (find-spot); now in the National Archaeological Museum, Athens

Mask of Agamemnon

Schliemann found this gold mask on 30 November 1876 and closed the dig three days later.

16th c. BC (NAM; 1550-1500 BC typical)

Should the National Archaeological Museum allow a metal test of the mask?
