The Mask of Agamemnon is a gold funeral mask discovered at the ancient Greek site of Mycenae. The mask, displayed in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens, has been described by Cathy Gere as the "Mona Lisa of prehistory".

Rangers make out...Calhoun up...news feed today had story of Asiatic Lions mysteriously dying in India...looking at a lion's face, thought of Egyptian portrait stylizations...that in a sec...as now I notice Agamemnon's gold mask 'look'...

Cultural depictions of lions were prominent in the Upper Paleolithic period; carvings and paintings from the Lascaux and Chauvet Caves in France have been dated to 17,000 years ago, and depictions have occurred in virtually all ancient and medieval cultures that coincided with the lion's former and current ranges.
An Asiatic lion in India's Gujarat State. This population is the only surviving lion population in Asia.

Gold rhyton made of hammered sheet metal in the shape of a lion’s head. Mycenae, Grave Circle A, Grave IV, 16th cent. BC.
It bears distinctive details, such as the muzzle (which has a pouring hole) and mane. Ritual vases are characteristic grave offerings in the royal burials at Mycenae. These same vases were probably used as rhytons (ritual funnels) during the funeral ceremonies. The lion could be an expression of natural strength and dominion.

A burial for her was prepared in the tomb of her father at Hawara.[4] However, she was not buried there, but in a small pyramid at Hawara. Her tomb was found intact in 1956 and still contained her jewellery, a granite sarcophagus, three silver vases and other objects.
She is depicted next to her father in the temple at Medinet Madi.

Indisputably there was no mummy; but the cartouche on three silver vases previously found by Dr Farag in the same tomb establish that this was the tomb of Princess Neferu Ptah, daughter of King Amenemhat III, whose own tomb was discovered a mile and a half to the north at Hawara in 1882 by Flinders Petrie. Dr Farag's theory is that the Princess was buried in the tomb opened today, and was afterwards reburied in her father's pyramid at Hawara.

This is a usekh necklace decorated that decorated the breast of the mummy of Neferuptah. It represents a type of ornament that was very common in ancient Egypt. In fact, wall paintings and statues frequently depict deities, pharaohs, queens and ordinary citizens wearing the necklace both during their lifetime and after death. It was thought to have an apotropaic value.

The Great Sphinx partially excavated, ca. 1878.
Rainer Stadelmann, former director of the German Archaeological Institute in Cairo, examined the distinct iconography of the nemes (headdress) and the now-detached beard of the Sphinx and concluded the style is more indicative of the Pharaoh Khufu (2589–2566 BC), known to the Greeks as Cheops, builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza and Khafra's father.[
