Anubis Mask BOB BASSET

Handcrafted sculptural leather mask inspired by Anubis, the ancient Egyptian deity associated with death, protection and the afterlife. The design transforms the human silhouette through an elongated jackal-like muzzle, sharply defined facial contours and exaggerated upright ears, combining ancient mythological symbolism with a minimalist sculptural form.

The mask is constructed from individually shaped leather elements, carefully assembled to create a smooth, continuous surface. The extended muzzle and structured ears emphasize the distinctive silhouette of Anubis, while integrated eye openings preserve visibility.

The piece explores the relationship between mythology, identity and transformation, reinterpreting the sacred imagery of ancient Egypt through traditional leather craftsmanship and contemporary wearable sculpture. Composition: Italian vegetable-tanned leather, metal hardware.
