Description

This deck of premium quality Playing Cards contains 52 of the Met’s most compelling Masks exhibits.

Transcending cultures and time, masks have served a variety of functions over the centuries, from honouring the dead and symbolising deities to intimidating enemies and amusing audiences. They’ve also been fabricated from a wide range of materials such as wood, marble, iron, jadeite, ceramic, and gold, among others. This spirited deck of cards includes several must-see masks from across The Met’s vast holdings.
