The Mask of Agamemnon, discovered by archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann at the ancient site of Mycenae, was placed over the face of a deceased individual as a funerary artifact. This gold mask was intended to honor the dead and signify their status, likely belonging to a person of high rank or importance. The mask served both a decorative and symbolic purpose, reflecting the beliefs about the afterlife and the significance of the individual in Mycenaean society.
