The practice of providing a bead mask as additional protection for the face of the mummy developed in the Late Period. The green beads used as the principal colour in the creation of the stylised face symbolise regeneration and re-birth. An example discovered at Esna in Upper Egypt and still attached to the face of a mummy is on display in the World Museum Liverpool (accession number 7.6.20.60).
