介绍（中）	石膏面具源自法老的传统，在法老的传统中，面具是死者头部的替代品，也是提升死者不朽地位的一种手段。这种推导经常反映在头部周围地幔上的绘画和文本中就像绘制的木乃伊肖像一样，面具暗示着强烈的个性化外观，并影响着罗马的发型、珠宝和服装时尚。然而，它们遵循的模式有些不同。例如，女性面具的发型可能将罗马式的上半部分头发与通常被认为是埃及式的长螺旋状头发结合在一起尽管面具看起来很有个性，但大多数人脸都是用模具制作的。用抹刀或刀子在灰泥上雕刻出明显的细节。耳朵是单独添加的，有时眼睛会镶嵌玻璃或石头。然后面具经常被涂上油漆或镀金太阳穴处宽阔的脸庞，微模的窄眼睛，拱形的鼻子，精致的笑容，似乎是一个年轻人的样子。紧密的卷发覆盖着个人的头顶，而较长的卷发则会流到头部支撑物上。没有佩戴耳环或其他珠宝，这可能会使女性有性别认同感，所以口罩很可能代表一个头发向后留得更长的年轻人。
介绍（英）	The plaster masks derive from pharaonic traditions, in which the mask served as a substitute for the head of the deceased and as a means of elevating him or her to immortal status. The derivation is often reflected in paintings and texts located on the mantle surrounding the head. Like the painted mummy portraits, the masks suggest strongly individualized appearances and affect Roman fashions in hairstyle, jewelry, and dress. They follow, however, a somewhat different pattern. For example, female masks may have coiffures that combine Roman arrangements of the upper part of the hair with long corkscrew locks that were considered typically Egyptian. Despite the seeming individuality of the masks, most faces were made in a mold. Distinguishing details were worked in the plaster with a spatula or knife. The ears were added separately, and sometimes eyes were inlaid with glass or stone. The mask was then frequently painted or gilded. The face-broad at the temple, with narrow slightly modeled eyes, an arched nose, and a delicate smile-seems to be that of a young person. Tight curls cover the top of the individual's head, while longer locks flow out onto the support on which the head rests. No earrings or other jewelry are worn that would make a female gender identification likely so it seems probable that the mask represents a young man who wears his hair longer in back.
