The mask was found in a barrack room in the retentura of the camp. This barrack refers to the Periods 1 and 2a of the fortification.
The mask is made of iron sheet covered with a layer of silver foil and when found was in a very corroded condition. X-ray photographs showed, however that the mask was formed with curled hair.
