Cesar The original mask dose have a gap in the edging at the top center of about 5mm, with a bronze tab and rivet the bronze tab and rivet on the other side of the 5mm gap is missing. It is not damage for this gap is there for what may have allowed a hook used in association with the 3 holes to pass thro' the edge strip, there is also on the original another 4 holes under the bronze edging, one at each top corner and one at each lower cheek area very similar to the mask from Vechen. Infact when we look at the Vetchen mask it appears to be yet another from the same workshop as the Kalkriese.
