i found these treasure buried in Somalia, which was under the Pharaoh kingdom long time ago,
so are these worth any thing, are there many ancient.
i know the original mask is in Egypt, but this one is was also made centuries ago,
i am confused,
can somebody please tell what they are worth?

375,000 Deben, adjusted for inflation. Just joking. Welcome to T-net and good luck
 

I'm going to guess that the Tut mask is mid 1920's at the earliest (After Christ ) At which point this imagery of the funerial mask
was one of the most well known images from antiquity worldwide after the discovery of same in 1923 I think . The beads (amber
or copal ?) hard to tell when they may have been fabricated . Nice finds !
 

it appears that the mask is plaster of paris,ceramic,pottery or the like.not buried long for sure as paint is intact and there is no soil or sand staining where chipped..sword also looks WAY to modern to be ancient.Even the beads are strung on a thin wire showing little or no real age.Just my guess looking at pics but there you have it,modern tourist pieces


this one similar.a paperweight

Welcome to Treasure Net !!
Similar miniature images were also sold during the King Tut tour.
IMO, probably polyresin composition or, as 'bigfoot1' said, plaster of paris.
