The Mask of Agamemnon can be found in the National Archeological Museum here in Athens, but it was originally discovered by Heinrich Schliemann in a shaft grave at Mycenae (the site of the Lions Gate I posted a few days ago). When Schliemann discovered the gold mask he thought it was that of the Greek leader Agamemnon, but that has now been disputed and the mask is believed to be too old to be the mask of Agamemnon. Either way, it's a brilliant piece or artwork.
