    Well, it's obviously Tutankhamun but the golden mask is so widely reproduced... Could be the work of anyone. And not sure it matters whodunit as appears to be recent, mass-produced piece.

    I agree, looks like you could buy it at a dime store (do they still exist?) - I'm thinking a poorly cast brass/bronze bust and probably mass produced as stated. All the black rough areas show the true quality of the casting, lots of porosity and roughness from low quality sand molds - the shiny surfaces are the results of heavy polishing. Alot of these castings are from India.
