About the work
Walk like an Egyptian! Steinberg relished child-like play. He made many masks from brown paper bags. This one seems familiar from Egyptian mummy cases (sarcophagi). It features a stylized version of the makeup and hairstyle worn by aristocratic women during the 21st dynasty (1077-943 BCE).
