Productinformation

A unique object inspired by the famous Roman horseman's mask found in Nijmegen. This artistically crafted mask is a modern interpretation, handmade by a contemporary artist with an eye for detail and history.

Based on a Roman combat mask from the 1st century AD, discovered during excavations in the River Waal. Today, the original mask can be admired in Museum Het Valkhof, but this object brings that heritage into your own home. The Roman horseman's mask was probably placed in the Waal as an offering, a common ritual practice to honour the gods or ask for protection.

This version shows not only the impressive front, but also the back of the mask, as it was originally worn. A true collector's item that can be admired from all angles, perfect for display on a stand or freely in the room.

A fascinating collector's item for lovers of history, art and, of course, Nijmegen.
