This clay Anubis mask has two slits for the shoulders and two small holes for the eyes. It has been fashioned in clay in two parts. The massive muzzle and eyes were shaped as an independent whole, attached to the other part of the mask with a tenon. The tenon fits into a hole in the other part and a piece of wood was then driven through it to secure it.
