British Museum: Mustachioed Men

I visited The British Museum recently and found these items that made me think of this weeks theme. 
They are cast bronze masks representing mustachioed male faces buried around 50-20 BC and found in a rich cremation burial at Welwyn Hertfordshire.  They're tiny, probably 5cm maybe 1.5inches tall.
