Internal Structure
CT scans showed density variations that indicated different clay sources and firing temperatures.
Manufacturing Techniques
Internal seams and voids revealed how masks were shaped, dried, and reinforced.
Cultural Interpretation
The masks reflected ritual and ceremonial practices. Internal structure helped reconstruct their use in performance or cultic settings.
Preservation Impact
CT imaging allowed researchers to study masks without handling them extensively.
