Why CT Works for Burial Masks
Masks often contain layered materials, pigments, and internal reinforcements. CT imaging reveals density patterns, hidden repairs, and manufacturing techniques.
Detecting Hidden Repairs
CT exposes density differences caused by added plaster, glue, or replaced sections.
Preserving Artifact Integrity
Researchers can study masks without removing paint or damaging surfaces.
Supporting Cultural Heritage
CT is essential for authenticating and preserving ancient masks.
