The Mask of Agamemnon is a Gold Funeral Mask discovered at the Ancient Greek site of Mycenae. The mask is now on display in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens. German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann discovered the Artifact in 1876. The Mask of Agamemnon was named by Schliemann after the legendary Greek king of Homer's Iliad. This mask adorned one of the bodies in the shaft graves at Mycenae. He believed that he had found the body of the Mycenaean king but modern research suggests that the mask dates to about 1600 BC, predating the Trojan War by about 400 years. It was found inside a burial shaft at the site "Grave Circle A, Mycenae". The Mask is one of five discovered in the graves. It was designed to be a funeral mask covered in gold. The Mask of Agamemnon was created from a single thick gold sheet, heated and hammered against a wooden background with the details chased on later with a sharp tool. After the discovery Schliemann notified King George of Greece and said: "I have gazed upon the face of Agamemnon.? Schliemann later named his son after the legendary king. Schliemann took this as evidence the Trojan War was a real historical event. This Item is part of our Exclusive Ancient Mystery Collection.
