Mass produced in moulds, objects like this mask of a woman are inspired by Sicilian and Carthaginian models. They may have been used as offerings, images of a deity from the Phoenician-Punic pantheon, or apotropaic objects for protecting the deceased. This mask is made from clay and dates from the 4th-3rd century BCE. (Museo Arqueológico Nacional, Madrid)
