On June 15, 1952, Mexican archaeologist Alberto Ruíz de Lhuillier and his team made a great discovery in the Temple of the Inscriptions in Palenque, Chiapas: they found the tomb of the Mayan ruler, K'inich Jannab' Pakal, better known as Pakal "The Great".
Pakal's face was covered by a jade mask, although at the moment of its discovery it was broken, at the moment it is exhibited in the Museum of Anthropology of Mexico.

If that sticker on the bottom says "Made in China", it's a replica.
